    The tutorial seemed great and simple.

    My Clio III is from June 2009, I bought the Torx T10 screwdriver on Oscaro... But it's too small, it spins in a vacuum!! I had followed the instructions, I think...

    Technical inspection tomorrow morning, balls...

Good morning,

I used this tutorial yesterday. Note that the TORX screwdriver needed is not size 10 as specified but size 20.
