What size torque bolt

Sorry folks, another simple question.

1.8 front disc torque screw, what size is it ?

I have two sets but only go to T40

Need to go to Local Brico tomorrow and buy what I need.

Thanks

Pete.

For anyone who doesn't have an impact wrench give the torx bolt head a good clump with a hammer and large punch first. Always worked for me so far.

33Nm.

Copper grease is a must though really.

Edit.. Ooops.. I misread the op!

Yeah T50 but be careful, the bolts are the usual Rover standard. (i.e made of cheese)
