| Wanted - Locking wheel bolt 'M' pattern |
|
I know it's a long shot but somehow I've managed to lose one of the locking wheel bolts when changing the wheels.
I took it off and put it down but when I fitted the new wheel it seems to have wandered off!!!!!
I checked the drive, the toolbox, the gutter, the dog's basket but no it has just vanished???????
I've checked the dealer and I'd have to buy a whole new set, so on the off chance has anyone got an old wheel bolt lying around in the bottom of their toolbox?
Just to complicate things ideally I need an 'M' pattern one.
I don't know what the chances are but thought there's no harm in asking.
Perhaps someone could just reply that they do have one so that the old one will 'turn up' again!

I think I still have my set in the garage. Not sure what the code is but you could just replace them all

Best bet is to replace them all with normal bolts.... The lockers will corrode and you will be unable to remove it without damaging it... If it ain't broke... Take it apart anyway, how else you gonna find out how it works

Be wary of fitting old locking nuts. I have just replaced mine on a 07 as they were no good. One had to come off with a chisel. They split down the middle and all that happen is when you put the spanner on it just goes round and round
