good place to find a magnet is off the back of a small speaker. Its like dropping your car keys down a drain .Im not pulling the drain up and climbing down there.  :grin: Ill use a long piece of string and a magnet . :cool:

Doesnt take long at all mate.
Torx bits in wheel arch, 5 torx bits by headlights and grill.
Remove bumper,
Take pancake pipe off and intercooler hose,
2 or 3 bolts holding the intercooler on job done.
Just give the cooler a shake upside down and it should drop out.

In future dont do the boy school stuff. Any hole fill it with a towel or rag.
Iv done it before and dropped a bolt in a gearbox inspection hole! that was the worse lesson learnt ever! I wont do it again  :grin:
