I have a couple of 5mm diameter bolts that i have to drill out of an engine casing.... and lo and behold the ironmongers that i've been using man and boy has closed ! ! ! !
Any suggestions as to where i can get some quality metal drill bits?
In this day of big superstores etc, items such as these are classed as 'specialised', and hence dont warrant shelf space :-(

yeah - Screwfix for me as well - recently bought the Erbauer titanium coated set, after I wrecked my cheapies getting the catalyst off the car.
part no 56241 - tenner for a nice set + case and they actually cut, rather than rub their way through.
cheers Cookie

Any local Engineers' supplies firm will have them on the shelf. Yellow Pages should guide you. Part of my job to deal with this sort of stuff.
