I need to remove the final bolt for the front wheel arch panel which is exposed by opening the front passenger door. It's too small an opening for a socket.
Any ideas?

L Series.
Get a smaller socket. I use a 3/8" drive deep socket. IIRC access is greatest with the door not quite fully open.
A ratchet spanner might also do it.

lol or could spend 10x the time with a normal spanner! I found my CGL 3/8 set has wobbly extensions that work quite well, i think kinchrome have a similar design.
