I have two Lamda sensors to change out, which I'm expecting to be straightforward, but a host of other small jobs that appear to require 'torx' screwdrivers... Can anyone suggest a basic tool kit for tackling little DIY jobs? I'll also be doing my own discs and pads when the time comes, and interim oil changes....

Any suggestions and advice most welcome...

Oh, and if anyone can tell me how to remove the instrument binnacle top I'd be properly grateful.... the leather has shrunk at the front and it looks awful.... frown (07 MY V8V)

I haven't updated this in a very long while but it has most of the basics:

For the bit/socket/wrench sizes, the wider the range you have, the better.
