Locking ones will be good craic.
Haven't been back down to the car, Sabs is away for the week and doesn't need the car until Monday and I've had a lot on.
Tyre place said as it's been 4 weeks since she bought the tyres they can't be sure they were the last ones to tighten them up, he said they don't use a rattle gun to refit wheels and as I wasn't there when they were getting fitted, I couldn't argue. I've a feeling they may have been a little more lenient if I got the mrs to phone. I don't want to 'name and shame' as I can see where they're coming from tbh.

Will the car be round yours at the weekend @Simon998 ?
We can have a collective look if so when we are looking at the Frenchies
We will live stream the action if it kicks off

How did he get them off? This has turned into a rather fascinating journey. 4 pages over a tight wheel nut.Got the car lifted today. We used her breakdown policy and got it brought to a garage. The guy in the garage had a right bit of bother getting them off too but got there in the end.
My only worry is now how to get the o/s one off lol.

Could you not have got both wheels loosened when it was in the garage?Got the car lifted today. We used her breakdown policy and got it brought to a garage. The guy in the garage had a right bit of bother getting them off too but got there in the end.

Just came to see if you got the wheel of yet lol
The guy tried very hard to do them all in one day. Even worked through his lunch break but put the back out in the end. Currently walking about like a lego man.Could you not have got both wheels loosened when it was in the garage?
I want a go at this lol. Honestly don't know how it could be that difficult.
Stop shifting the blame Si... dam those (insert own hated tyre company here) fellas.It's easily replicated for hours of entertainment. Get yourself a Polo GTI, overtighten the wheel bolts and then smash it into a broken kerb at a 'reasonable' (according to her) speed.
