Hmm. I suspect I'm not going to be much help. :-/

On the first count, Hose Clip Pliers or words to that effect. Can't see them in the machine mart catalogue and I'm wondering if they actually came from Halfrauds or the local motor factors. :-/

On the second count, never used then for their intended purpose but picked them up so I've got them "for next time".  ::)

I hope I get a VAT free card soon too. I have an extensive shopping list.

I hope your car didn't, Tunnie. Shall we start a book on what's going to break on the way home this evening?  ;D

Fuel line set looks right. reckon the CV joint pliers are a bit too hefty though.

These look like the closest machine mart product: http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/hose-clamp-pliers-angle-type-swivel-jaws
