| cruddy quality lockingh wheel nut adaptor |
|
So, I finally decided off with the winter wheels and tyres and on with the summer jobbies today. First the rear axle, everything hunky dory, then the fronts, the locking wheel nut was a bit on the tight side so I applied a bit of heft...the damn adaptor split, both the casing and the rubbish spline fitted interior ring. I popped around to the guy who bought my 3 off me in the wild hope that his adaptor would fit mine, of course it didnt but unlike on the 4, his is a single casting in steel not this heap of junk that came with my 4. So now Im stuck with 19" wheels with winter tyres on the front and 20" inch summers on the rear. Why do these sort of things always feel like that happen during times when nothing is open?! Im tempted to call Landrover assist, maybe they can help but failing that doesn anybody know the procedure for getting a replacement?
cheers Keith

Your car is still in warranty, get the dealer to sort it. 
Then bin the lockers.

You could try LRA anyway but I've never heard that they carry spare keys, where dealers tend to have a set.
