A tourque wrench that goes down to 30nm they can lend me? Only need it to do the head bolts on my car. I've got a BFO one that starts at 60
Cheers

I assume its so that you can do 30nm, 60nm, then 270*? I've always just done it so that you do it yourself a bit, then go for 60 then the 180* then a further 90*... So I don't have to use a pissy torque wrench...

Auto data says the 1.8 is 30nm, 60nm, slacken 360* then 100* then another 100.
Will double check it against the Haynes book of lies and see what they say.
Wrench and angle gauge turned up this morning. Money I didn't have but useful tools to havei suppose!
