Hello All,
I have very very few tools for use with vehicles, and as I now buy and sell cars I think it's a must I get a set. I'm trying to change the interior in my 3.2 Omega and only have 6 spanners screwdrivers and some pliers. Which are no good really.
I've had a look on the Halford website and found this...
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_232793_langId_-1_categoryId_165572

Is that going to be any good for me? And I've got to remove the front seats and there's some star shaped screw things. Please forgive my ignorance, I'm 19 and really have had no experience at all.

You'll need star drives for the seats. That kit doesn't have them. Don't buy cheap star drives, because they'll just either snap or round off.

I would say spend a bit more and go for the Halfords Pro range.

In fact your in luck at the moment as Halford are doing one of thier Kits half price at the mo for £99

Josh  I dont know what you have to spend on tools but its always better and cheaper in the long run to buy the best you can
  Have a look at the Halfords 150 piece set Its £99 and a few on here have this set I would think that this would satisfy most of your needs though
 If you want anything from Halfords I have a trade card here which will get you discounts on there tools
 I am only over in Bicester if you are interested 

[tunnie]

get the own halfords brand 150 peice set, its often at offer at £99, its excellent has 90% of the tools you need to take an omega to bits

[LFF64]

Anyone know how much this 150 peice set is on Trade card by the way

Not sure, but when its on offer trade card does not apply.

Josh - Can't rate the 150 Halfords set enough it has everything, spanners are a little thin and dig in, apart from that its excellent.

[joshwyatt]

Many thanks all!
It's the 150 piece set for me then 

[LFF64]

No idea it varies on what you buy  I think.
 I used it the other day on a battery that was £94 and it came down to about £60 so a fair saving there 

[waspy]

Many thanks all!

     When you use it, keep the lid closed in the rain & if it gets damp/wet dry it out at room temp. Wipe all the pieces you use with a lightly oiled rag & this will keep em shiny 8-) & helps prevent any rust forming through the chrome.

[waspy]

There's a problem though. As i can see the 150 piece doesn't have a T40
