I've never had it done to me, but then I'm not that stupid as to walk by a bloody great puddle in the road when there's cars coming! I would hope that if I ever am so dense, and I do get a soaking, I'm able to laugh it off with the same intensity that I'm sure the driver of the car will be. I may or may not have done it a couple of times, and the reactions of the people has been absolutely priceless: The classic open-mouthed cape-wearing pose

GLOL :lol:

Fixed penalty? It's worse than that, you can be done for careless driving, so that's properly endorsable. Splashing pedestrians is morally and legally wrong. It's also bloody hysterical.

Any reason you're not just going to wait until you've got the wheels sorted first before putting these on? Also, surely you don't have the spacers already? Mate, I appreciate you're excited about these, but just have a little patience and you'll be so much better off

It's your router again Stevo

Me too.

That mock-up by some random is from 2013!!!

That's not right Col: 10w40 is exactly the same viscosity as 5w40 when warm, it's just thicker from cold.

Sadly not, I think if I do go it'll have to be later in the year. House purchase is stopping all fun at this point.

An answer can only be as good as the question

Easy to get hold of another one, Nissan sell them for about £15 each. There's only a few combinations, just take your car to them and get them to order you the right one. Well worth having a spare at home, I promise you!

It's needed to get any wheel off, have a flick through the manual so you know what to do when you get a flat tyre at 3am in the pouring rain

The missus was the first to point it out, so I felt less bad about staring from then on

It is, yes. An Australian one, too.

Then I accept your lack of knowledge as reasonable I'd make sure that it is the right one for your car, just pop outside and see if it fits the locking nut, better to know before you need it... /VOE

Two seconds later, flat on arse

My suggestion is don't. Unless the car came with them from factory, they look like ugly stuck on chavvy tat. And even when the factory does fit them, they still look awful at times (I'm looking at you, Merc C class and new FFRR!).

Best engine oil? I'd say the Motul 300V stuff is about the best you can get, but it ain't cheap.

Have you never changed a wheel?

Thats how it was with my estate agents when I sold. Its a bit of a con really, as rather than charge say 1%, they worked out that 1% of their "valuation" of my house of £200k is £2000 and so thats what they would charge for their fees as a fixed price. So you agree to that. Then of course, it transpires that they have overvalued your house and you end up selling for £180k and the estate still gets his £2k which works out at a higher percentage of £180k. Mine has a cracking set of pins and wears short skirts and high heels whenever I've seen her, so I figure I also get my money's worth that way

I haven't, you're right!

Actually, it's a locking wheel nut key.

Also, please don't spend a fortune on nice wheels then put crappy spacers on. At least buy the decent ones, like Eibach from the traders on here.

DO NOT DRIVE WITH ONE NUT MISSING

Or buy a motorbike.
