Ta all - ended up progressively drilling out the offending bolts and then belting what was left with a punch. Job done but now must get the bits out of the crossmember...another job another day!
Was most amused when finished wiring in the towbar electrics this PM when I found that LRs seem not to use either European 7 core cable or British Standard Vehicle colours. Spent ages with the multimeter - or have I missed something blinding obvious again?
