Is someone able to tell me the best way to access these bolts
Tried through the grille and from inside engine bay but both very difficult.
Petrol 2005 model
Thanks

You lift the bonnet and then poke a socket through the hole in the cross member in front of the radiator and unscrew them, easy enough to get out but a bit harder to get back in from memory. I've done it a few times but not for a few years.

Better if you have a 3/8 drive. May also need a nut in the back of the socket to push the bolt all the way when installing.
