Hello, wanting to know a good value torque wrench I can use on the 205. One whigh can be used all around my car. Any pointers? Thanks Danny

Halfords pro are very good, 1/2 should suffice for anything torque critical in general use, or the 3/8 for engine internals and all the small bolts.

halfords professional torque wrenches are made my norbar (UK firm with a very highly regarded build quality)

at the price, is an absolute steal.

I use torque wrenches for everything around my cars & have 3 'Teng' brands in various ranges. The 2 smaller ones are 3/8" drive, the larger 1/2".

I use a 3/8" Warren & Brown. Tell me one bolt you need a 1/2" for on a 205.

Hub nuts.

[petert 586]

35mm 3/4" impact socket welded to 1m of mild steel RHS

[welshpug 1,657]

not much good for a 30 or 32mm hub nut though

[petert 586]

Weld one on each end/corner. That leaves one side spare!

Thanks for the replys. I have to agree, I got a halfords spanner set, brilliant for the money. Good quality etc. I'll have a look on their website. A guy on eBay are selling them at like 65 pounds. Problem is the lifetime warranty bit. No proof or purchase. Halfords it is then.
