Yep, start hitting Halfords for a big set.
Anyway T50 for the seats and seatbelt.

Don't forget the Torx sockets also - bit embarrassing when you have got it all up on stands, half the trims off and then find the bolt you are trying to reach is actually a Torx head.

Yep, the baseline toolkit for many of us and the sales come round reasonably quickly.
The Halfords trade card is worth getting if you can. If not, some forum members will do a proxy purchase for you.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

Why not Stew? I thought it was pretty easy when I pulled mine out for a trip to the Pyrenees earlier this year?

, for the small amount of space gained I don't think it's worth it I put tools etc in the space and some emergency bits with a ply cover over when I done my Spain drive , next time I'll just make a ply box 6 inches high with a lid for all that sort of equipment you need to take but hope you don't need to use it -------------------------------------------------

And when you put them back use high strength hex bolts. My seats go in for winter & load deck for summer, the torx heads would have been stripped years ago. And use lots of copperslip.
