Dam, was going to do a check over the chassis this weekend and... oh

Ok, there seems to be a cover over the wheel nuts with just one "funny kinda nut thing" with a couple of grooves in it. How do I remove them, is this a locking nut and me dealer forgot to give me the tools to get them off (or maybe he did and I've forgotten) HO HUM, anyone help?

Check your glove box for the key, or the boot, above fuel tank or underneath it.

If not there, you will have to return to the dealers and get another one.

I just used a large screw driver on mine, with no issues at all.

Jusat spoke to the dealers and they say it should be in the tool bag in the boot. Blimy, I haven't even looked in the tool bag and I've had the car since April

Thanks for everyone contribution, some days the obvious seems so far away, I must slow down a little and use me brain!

Sorry did you say something simpo?

If you still can't get the wheels off, drop the car round to me and the kids here should be able to help, they will also be able to sell you a set of replacements for around £150.

Yeah well, just rearrange to make a well-known phrase or saying... maybe I'd better invent Simpo Three to shake off the disgrace...
