Irwin bolt removers?
If the wall of the socket will fit. 

I forgot the "hammer a smaller socket over it" mantra. Off now and the seal is replaced. Just about to start it to see if it's fixed.

It's still leaking but not from that seal...

Looking forward* to going deeper into a Bosch pump

Is it starting better/quicker now that you've put diesel in?

Aye it starts right away.

The 'having to turn the key back a bit to get all systems working' feature seems to be a common 850 issue.  The white estate I had earlier in the year did the same, as does one owned by a friend for a number of years.

Yep, it's just weird that (on my car at least) without turning it back the ABS light stayed on, and the headlights and indicators were in-operative.

Same with this one, ABS and TRACS lights and the headlights/indicators don't work.
