Stuart, like BW said, that bolt looks like it has M8 on it.Can you get a 1/4" square drive M8 socket, with a universal on it, in there, and try that.Good luck with it.Cheers,Ralph.

Build a moat. It's always easier to plead forgiveness than to beg for permission.
And definitely short spikes...with some atop the ramparts too..

Lol Dave. If Reform were trying to emulate that, they really screwed it up.

No good building a moat, an Englisman's home is no longer his castle. 🙄. You don't even have the right to keep burglars out, or the prospect of the police protecting your rights in your home. And no doubt ypu need planning and building control for a moat. 😅😅.

A 'salt of the earth' plumber won in Gorton and Denton, recently.

It's every bit as bad as the Tudor court. Whose gang should I be in; to whom should I cosy up? Plenty looking nervously over their shoulder; yet more eyeing their way to get a first step on the rung up the greasy pole ( he said mixing his metaphors)...Surely the same old names cannot simply continue to be recirculated and reinvented in different roles. ..or is it simply ' plus ça change, plus c'e...

I want to remove the engine without gearbox and bell housing from my TD project.

All bolts except the bolt (circled) behind the clutch operating lever are loose and can be or are removed. The bolt behind the clutch shaft on the opposite side to the clutch operating system was easy to get to.

I have tried sockets, ring and plain 1/4"W spanners, but I am unable to get a grip on t...

I dont think whoever Reform had put up would have made much difference and I dont think its all to do with Burnham's popularity either. With no GE on the horizon voters see him as the only way to get rid of Starmer who everyone has had enough of.
