blert596 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Well, thats just great. Just got my new rears (Eagle F1s),and took it to the garage to have them fitted. Dropped the car off, and feller said about 45 mins. No probs, I'll just pop in for a pint. Came back 45 mins later and noticed the same rear tyres are still on. WTF is going on I asked? Have you got the key for the locking nots? Erm, If there not in the boot with the rest of the stuff, then ermmm no sorry. And to make it even better the guy doesnt have a set that will fit. And although he knows they're AVS he cant identify what ones they are and get the right tool. Bonus!!! Bottom line is they are gonna have to "get them off somehow" and replace them with other bolts. More expense....great!! Readers top tip....check EVERYTHING before you buy. Bugger!!!! Bloody tyres and fitting have cost me more than my weeks holiday to Turkey to watch the European Cup final!!!

terribleturner Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I had a load of trouble with my locking wheel nuts a few months back. Somehow they got stuck on and the key just rounded off the divits. After going to god knows how many garages i left it with a bloke i know who managed to adapt the old key to work. More money and alot of hassel. Am slightly tempted not to both with them, but you know if you didn't the wheels would be gone in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
