Randy_Baton Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Theres a foam holder in the boot which holds the jack etc, it fits into that. You can't miss the shape, bit like a jigsaw. I can't believe you haven't checked ur nuts in 16 months though. I loosen all mine and re-torque every month when I do a full check of the car (thats when its not been at the track) Yeah, presumed that would be the place. It definitely wasn't in any of the cubby holes before. As I said before, its my first car, only do about 4k miles a year. Quote

ATTAK Z Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 ok "went" should be "gone" There was a young man from Gwent ........ ...... ....... and instead of coming he went 1 Quote
WhackyWill Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I just want to add to this thread that we should point out to the OP, let there be any confusion, that he only needs this "key" for one nut on each wheel, the rest he can take off with the normal wheel brace. Quote

AliveBoy Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Personally I'd ditch the locking nuts, they're great till the key snaps and ruins the nut and you have to butcher the thing to get it off. It's normally the result of some grunt over tightening them. If someone wants to steal your wheels, that won't stop them 2 Quote

It's normally the result of some grunt over tightening them. If someone wants to steal your wheels, that won't stop them These things are very handy for locking nuts (assuming they're small enough). We took a set off and put them back on with no damage whatsoever on a Focus the other week. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=391007749349 Obviously they are also the reason why locking wheel nuts are useless on the basis that any crook can just buy one of these!

Got one, great tool, got me out of the sh1* lots of times. Used it to remove my sons Golf wheels when the garage lost the locking nut key..! 1 Quote

jimboy2 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I'm amazed people still use locking nuts. Quote
