Thanks all.
Since it seems Torx (ie, not Torx Plus) will work OK, that'll do. |

I didn't know there were differences myself, until recently.
I just wanted to get some Torx tools, I don't have any.

I need to get some Torx tools.
My Freelander 2a is a very early i6, built summer 2006.
According to Wikipedia, patent for original Torx expired in 1990 and so Torx Plus began to be introduced.

OK , thanks for help.
I've finished messing with the car for a while (hopefully) so I'll try a properly-done hard reset.
Thanks for the info that in may take a while for things to settle. |
