Wobbly wheels

[Nick]

I shall let you know after Norman has checked it over. Growler informed me that it has alloy wheels with a locking nut. So at least the wheels are still on, which is a fooking miracle in Scouseland

[Snoopy]

So the VP view is that the bearings are fooked (car has done 75000) and that these are cheapish to replace. Costs anyone? I shall take it to the excellent, if scruffy, Norman Hand in the morning.

This will be the excellent, if scruffy, Norman Hand who so recently gave it a grade A MOT check but failed to point out a potentially lethal problem would it?



I await a tirade from the Petrol Heads to tell me that checking such matters as bearing wear doesn't feature in an MOT Test.

I have PM'd.

Growler informed me that it has alloy wheels with a locking nut but I can't find the key.

 

[Nick]

I have the key but it's covered in dead flies 

[Barman]

I have the key but it's covered in dead flies 

Oh, you left the key in the car then...?   

[Snoopy]

I have the key but it's covered in dead flies 

Oh, you left the key in the car then...?   

And you presumably keep yours safely at home and when you have to change a wheel whilst somewhere else????????????????????????????????????????????????

Or on the key-fob... so somebody can't just break the window then nick your wheels like... 

Is your question mark key stuck hound?

[Nick]

It's stoopid. You have to keep the key in the car for wheel changing, like

Of course...

Have you seen the size of locking wheel nut remover on a Land Rover? It is larger than the key fob. It is frankly Hoooooge and weighs a lot. I keep it in the place provided in the car.
We are talking a real deal here ~ not some twopenny-halfpenny job from Poundstretcher. The device to remove lockable wheel nuts on my car and the one on the wife's Corsa are  fecking great sockets. Even SWWLTBO would draw the line at adding that to her handbag.

I don't have a Land Rover... or Corsa... or locking wheel nuts for that matter! 

[Nick]

Nobody would want your nuts

Thank heavens, I'd have to carry a mahoosive key around with me....

Well why don't you ask HIM in the morning then you exceedingly soft shte?
