bugger.................
just realised the dealer i got my '93 chimp from didnt supply the car with the key for the locking wheel nuts...
my stupid fault for getting it from a non-specialist i suppose...
actually i wish i'd spent more and got one from henly or farnham now..just had BIG qoute for non warranty work needed..
starting to think i may need to sell rather soon and enter s3 world instead...
and my wife is laughing at me as i type..

If you got the car very recently (within 28days or so) then you may be able to return the car to the dealer for your money back (depending on what all the problems are with it) cause if it was not roadworthy when they sold it to you...............Goods not fit for purpose under the SOG Act.

buy a socket (deep reach) of about 19mm and hammer it over the locking nut until it does not move in anymore, then undo it! that's why there is no point buyin locking nuts you can get them off anyway!!!
