Tool eating Terrano

[Rick1956]

On two occasions over the last week my Terra has "eaten" tools.
The first was a 12mm ring and open, the second was a torx key, both slipped out of my hand and disappeared into the engine compartment never to be seen again. :evil: :evil:
I've looked everywhere, I've used a torch a mirror, been in from the top, from the bottom, looked in every nook and cranny, used a magnetic probe, bumped up and down a kerb to see if they will fall out, nothing. :twisted: :twisted:
Where could they have got to or is my engine compartment a dorway to another dimension????? 8O 8O 8O
Heeeeeeeeelp

I would take off the skid plate under the engine & have a look upwards at the lower front X member as i've droped stuf & it's ended up there out of sight :roll: I would also check by the front chassis rails & inner wings as thats where I had to fish out my screwdriver the other week & what a pig of a job it was :twisted: :twisted:
