Was bout to head out and grab a torque wrench and socket set from my favourite place, Halfords. Thought it'd be best to have a read around on all the torque levels that bolts in the engine and other places need. Thank god I did as I was just going to grab the 40-200nM one.
Looking in the Service Manual it seems that a lot of the bolts that I'll be looking to get off/on only need a small amount of torque 5-20nM with bigger things such as wheel nuts needing 115nM. Looking around on these forums and others people say it's best to get 3 wrenches; low medium and high torque so that everything's pretty much covered.
Are most of the bolts in the engine bay 1/4" or 1/2"? Would these two cover the majority of things and are they any good along with this socket set.
Laser 1/4" - 5-25nM

I was mainly looking to use them for changing upper plenum, air intake pipe, grounding kit, wheels, samco hoses.
Thanks
