utter result today. . . Although didnt look likely at ten thirty this morning grrr.  Anyway get to ats and speak to a different bloke about gettin the locking nuts off. . . You can tell in someone's face when you know they're not going to be able to help. Well they tried and couldn't do it. 'only option is to go to vauxhall as they'll have a master key' hmmm. Well got to vauxhall and they were utterly useless. The woman who was more interested in her make up was like 'oh Youll have to come in next week". I very rarely get cross but i just walked out. Went to a local place called Scotts Tyres in kingsthorpe. I said to the old dear 'I'm had enough and if these cant do it I'm going pub. Well they were fekking awesome. Bloke got all four locking nuts off in 5 mins flat. Two new front Tyres. AND cheaper than ats. Conclusion: Scotts Tyres are awesome. And go with your instincts when you feel like your bein pissed about! Oh yeah and vauxhall dealers in northampton are Shit!

I've removed 3 of my locking wheel nuts as front two were starting to round off. Will remove the last one tomorrow.
