That's about 1/10th of the official price of the Sealey kit , so you can't help be a bit suspicious , even if the Sealey one is overpriced
http://www.toolsinstock.com/Petrol_E...ct--17823.html The only part of the set which really needs to be of very good quality is the locking tool for the rear sprockets ( the piece which looks like a ring spanner ). If that is made of hard metal then it may be a bargain ; if not it will slip off and round off the lugs ! We need someone to buy it and try it out . Could that be you ?

TBH it's just to help my mechanic who is skilled & cautious but not at all specialized in Rover V6. I'm sure he's got enough stuff but maybe not the best ones to do the trick on my 2.5. I'm not good enough to do the job myself alone, I would be way out of my comfort zone, especially in that very fiddly job. And that's for 2020 (6 years). But were it a bargain it might be urgent to grab it. Hence waiting someone in the mainland to take the risk...
