    That's just a safety torx screw. Your dealer is having you on!

    Yes very easily bought mate. Halfords should even stock them.

    As Colin says - the dealer is having a laugh.

    There is a range of those Torx bits in the Halfords Socket Sets a lot of us have bought on here, so yes they will sell em separately also.

    I can tell U what size it is tomorrow if U like Raphael?

    You need a T40 Torx Bit Raphael, which should fit in a 1/2" Ratchet Wrench, see below Pix.
