Very quick question, the bolts on my gasket cover are pretty rusty so have bought a replacement set, before I go about it could the learned folk on here just shout if by doing the following it is a daft idea. I was literally going to remove one bolt and replace with a new one, one at a time. there shouldn't be any problems doing that should there? Its literally a case of going around them one after the other. Also what is the torque setting? I had a quick google and found on a Vaux forum saying 8nm but wanted to check...

Wont be an issue doing that, the torque you quote seems correct - in reality a nip is sufficient.

Gasket cover = cam cover? 

 

The bolts go through a sort of collar that has rubber around it, just be careful pulling each one out. I had a set that I cleaned but then they went rusty really quickly again. Bought a plating kit and am going to plate them myself when the weather gets warmer.

My bad, should have checked what you had. The turbo is different to the NA and the NA has special ones. You should be fine with those for your car.
