Indicator Screw Replacement
So after a whole day of taking the front of the car off.. out of all the screws to go missing its the one 7ml holding the indicator to the main headlight unit. Anyone know the part number or where I could find a replacement for it? Please, Thank You. Have a lovely day.

Oil Sump Pam Replace (seized screws)
it came out!! solution, loads of penetrative spray. hex-star piece hammered into the screw enough to get a good grip then slowly but firmly unscrewed with a ratchet 👌 thank u for the suggestions, the heat thing is interesting will defo try that next time. and the tighten a bit to break the corrosion up. didn't think of that at all. also my impact driver unfortunately wouldn't fit and i didn't have the right attachments to get it in otherwise yh its a fantastic tool for this exact job XD thx a lot again I'm really a bit surprised i got so much advice and so quickly. really appreciate you all! and watch out for them high curbs 👍

Oil Sump Pam Replace (seized screws)
defo not plastic, but how would heat help. heat expands right? if u mean heat the sump along with the screw hole, i imagine that would be very difficult to control where that heat goes to.

Oil Sump Pam Replace (seized screws)
So. long story short. there are 2 10ml bolt which are refusing to come out of the sump pan. The 2 of 4 central ones on the side where the transmission is. Ive wd40ed it, ive wrenched, ive alan keyed and they r not coming, i used the engle ratchet attachment, they're on there. Im left to heavy machinery. to drill it out, risking damaging the threads on the engine block or cut the old sump pan enough to get to the screws with better grip/access. both aren't ideal i know. does anyone have any experience with this or recommendations? for some context the screws are located in a hole about an inch wide and they are about 3 maybe 4 inches into this hole. the screws are at an angle in relation to the access hole. the hole actually opens where the screw actually is so feeding anything through is rly awkward. thx in advance #savemychild
