I have somehow mislaid the box with my wheel nut key!!
I have tried phoning Evans Halsham {it is a zafira) but because it is fitted post production they need the box for the serial number.
Can't take it down because it has a flat tyre at the moment (RAC towed me home early hours of yesterday morning).
Looking at a couple of options but anyone else have any ideas?
Similar thing happened to me. Searched high and low and eventually found it... in the glove compartment! :frown:
Suggest have a GOOD look first :thumbup:
My Zafira has one of these pumping up the tyre thingies, have you not got this. ?
You can get a can of stuff from a car spares shop to pump up the tyre to get to the garage.Some tyre fitters will come to you,most have an attachment that will unlock the nut but no doubt the call out will cost you.
I'"m going to have another good search now.Quote:

Most tyre places can take it off
They'll weld and old wheel onto it and remove that way. You'll need to buy a new wheel but then
Hammer, steel rod and socket set, that's all you need, watch the vid I put up, piss easy job, done a few over the years.

My wheel nut key is knackered and Ford told me they have to send off for one from Germany?
I needed to change two tyres for MOT last night, and the garage put me onto Parfitt Tyres down Seawall Road. The lad down there got a tool that can take off the locking nut. 10er a wheel. Not many tyre places can do it without the wheel nut key. I just stuck 4 regular nuts on, no ones gonna knick the tyres off my Fiesta :hehe: nicking tyres is so 1980/90's
Yeah I noticed that :hehe:Quote:

I thought Liberace was brown bread :facepalm:Quote:

Kwik Fit are literally shite.
Take a drive to Barry Island, go for a brisk 30 minute walk along the golden sands and by the time you return all 4 wheels will have been removed free of charge too. :thumbup:
