One point, the DIY guide suggests just 7NM/16NM for the Strut brace bolts. This seems a little low as that's barely hand tight.

Definitely second the advice of a long T-handle for the T25. Also are the 10 mm screw is shorter than the others so be aware of that you can easily be dropped.

21 minutes, hood open to hood closed.

Bolts are 6mm and 8mm shank, they don't need to be torqued much.

Thanks for the feedback on the EU side, appears the charcoal liners are a US thing only.
