. Or that I am just a pain in the arse and they invite me to shut me up????? You shlaaaagAnyway at this moment the car is not being worked on as the locking wheelnut key has broken due to the nuts being put on WAY TOO TIGHT and BR could not get them off..................... I will not mention on the forum who was the last company to put them on!!!!! But at least 2 of you here were with me...

Are you sure they weren't just to spec? The wheel nuts are set to a ridiculously high torque (something like 180 NM I think). Can't imagine them being easy to undo at that torque!
Correct George. 180nm is fking tight believe me. Dont have lockers on my car but I really would cringe if i was torquing them to 180. Wait for the 'ping' 
We regularly have issues with locking wheel nut fittings that have been air-gunned and the driving edges rounded off

I assume the rears undid ok when you had them swapped back over...know what I mean
They were f'ing tight also. Spoke to the people concerned, they believe that we changed the wheels too soon after the last run and perhaps compounded the issue. In fairness they sorted out a new key and new locking nuts inside 45 mins of my email...... Great customer service, just annoying that these things are not thought of and checked in the first place. I cannot fault their response or customer service after the event though.

So will be squeeze two more meets in before Christmas or just the one 
I'm always up for a drink so one or two meets suits me fine I definitely think a D&D Christmas meal would be good (well as long as it is a boar burger with blue cheese and bacon!).

As it is a special occasion, it should be 2 meets. 1 close to Christmas and perhaps mid-november, so that I can bore you with stories of my BR Special and the Vanquish drive. I not sure I mentioned that......... more than 6 times
Maybe you could regale us with stories of Spa You have been to Spa, haven't you? Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
