Could somebody tell me please what is the best tool to undo the screws holding the hinges to the bulkhead on my 300TDi. I think they are PZ3 and I have successfully snapped 3 bits trying to undo them after putting loads of WD30 on them.

Cheers

They could be pretty rusted solid inside depending on the age of it, try very lighting tapping on them many many times.

Or you could try using one of the cordless impact drivers. Machine Mart have one in for £70 inc VAT

I had an impact screwdriver that i bought from halfords, put the bit form that into my breaker bar and it worked a treat.

proper impact driver is the correct tool to use on door hinges.
but if after many years neglect, then YD has the right answer.
