Title: Warning
Post by: DaveA on 25 January 2011, 13:49:10

 I have just bought a replacement wheel bolt security key, don't do, as I did, assume that the price would be something like a fifth of the price of a new complete security bolt set, because it;s not.
  Lost mine ordered a replacement, it cost £24 on my T.C >:(more than a new set).
Still, there's no fool like an old fool. :'( :'(

Please don't tell me what I could have got for, it's very painful banging my head against this wall, and I want to stop :-X :-X >:( >:(

Rant over.

Unless you`ve got expensive alloys, why bother, get the bolts removed and replace with standard

All always remove mine, they are to much trouble if the key gets lost ::)
