[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The caliper bolts on Mrs Opti's Corsa are (accoding to the Corsa forum) either E18 or E20 size.

So I need a set with these sizes included
Why couldn't Vauxhall use an ordinary socket.......I've plenty of those.

Just buy single sockets from Halifords

If you've already got a socket set of two, just by a rail of torx sockets from, for example, Halfrauds.

EDIT: or buy single sockets, indeed, if that's all you're missing.

I assume you mean the female Torx  Machine Mart do an inexpensive set of them, good enough for home use. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/pro44-14-pce-tx-bit-set?da=1&TC=SRC-torx My only complaint about about Halfords Torx sockets, apart from not doing the bigger sizes - even separately  , is that the smaller sizes are still 3/8" drive & the shoulder gets in the way sometimes, the small sizes in the Clark set are 1/4" drive.

Thanks, Andy. Many sets only seem to go up to 16.

I can individually buy a Draper E18 and  E20 Draper from Amazon...........but the cost for both is almost £12. Probably better to buy a set like the one you've highlighted.

You can Ebay individual Halfords Professional ones for a couple of quid plus postage

Halfords replacement E sockets only go up to E16 unfortunately. I tried to order an individual E20 with no joy. 

Edit: Must type faster.

Do torx heads really need a torx socket? Standard sockets seem to work fine on them.
