Wheel Nut locked

[bluebastardo]

It just seems weird that I have only 1 locking nut that I have a key for. Are garage's that stupid to give me wheel locks with no key?

So you have 4 wheels, each with 1 locking nut, and 3 are the same but 1 is different , and you only have the key for the 1 different one, but that isn't the punctured tyre ?

If it's a local garage that put the nut on, and you ask them nicely, I'm sure they'll send someone out to undo it for you once you explain it is their fault.
Failing that, give your reg to a motor factor such as Jim Barkers, or even a dealer, and see if they have one that fits in stock.

You can always fill the tyre with tyre weld to get you to a garage . Maybe someone with a car can get some for you.

Can I have my kiss and dry bum now?

I haven't been through the thread coompletely yet...but DO NOT PUT THIS INTO YOUR TIRE. It is terrible stuff and means that the puncture will be really hard (and maybe impossible) to patch. Then you will have to fork out for another tire.

Yeah, and the other tyres that have been replaced have not been from the same places, the car was bought 5 years ago from Dane Chester and it was used.

Not an option I was considering.

Most tyre inners are wire sanded , drilled, and plugged m8, unless the puncture is on the actuall wall of the tyre, where in such a case, the tyre is scrap and can't be repaired. Tyre Weld won't make the slightest bit of difference to any repair, but 'will' get you to your destination, but good to know you weren't considering it after 2 hours of discussion lol.
I worked in garages for 4 years as a lad, 1 of which was spent at Deacon road Tyres and exhausts which is now Budget, and the rest as a Citreon mechanic at C&T.
If I had a pound for every tyre I've .....etc

Well we weren't discussing the liquid thing were we?

A tyre is not expensive, I just need to get this ****er off so I can get the spare on.

It's due to be part-x pretty soon, so I need to get it relatively operational, at least on the surface anyway.

Are the dome effect 1s not just blanks?? Cant you prise the dome thingy off?

I go with this theory, sometimes a wheel nut, isnt a wheel nut and they don't look like lockable wheel nuts, the fact that you say they're slighty larger suggests they might be cosmetic chrome caps, (see wheel nut caps on google), get a penknife or small screwdriver and see if you can prise it off to reveal a normal nut underneath.
