Hello everybody


Today I received a letter explaining that there are thieves in the area targeting BMWs for parts, especially bumper assemblies and alloys.


They suggest using locking wheel nuts and may offer marking kits.


I already have original wheel locking nuts but I want to add some new ones I just bought.


I just tried to remove a standard nut from each wheel on my car and the six inch socket extension I was using sheered off!


The nuts are on solid!


I was using a torque wrench so there was plenty of leverage.


When I tried the spanner in the tool kit I also couldn't get the nuts off!


I was wondering if there's anyone in the area who has something stronger than a Kamasa socket set I could borrow for 20 mins.


Specifcally a six to nine inch extension for a 3/8" square drive


Thanks

Just for balance I've used Kwik Fit many times over the years and always been happy. I have also used local neighbourhood garages and had my car knackered.


Broad brushes eh?

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
