Am going to be purchasing a set of locking wheel nuts, but which are the best ones to get?

Is there ANY that will not come off with an undersize socket and a 3lb hammer???

Your thoughts please..

 

Stu if they want them,they will take them in afraid!!

Just put 2 sets on,make it AS HARD as you can for them..

Pete..

 

Stu, all can be got off in the end.

but not in your driveway in the middle of the night.

Its only when they find the locking nut they can do it quitely.



Dave.

 

McGuard I beleive are one of the better makes. They won't get them off on your drive overnight without some serious noise.

 

go to fords and get there locking wheel nuts, there actually McGaurd ones but are only 26 quid and not 40 from halfords

there are about the best due to there shape

 

ok thanks guys!

 

They are the ones where they only do 10 different ones.

All colour coded and if you buy 10 different sets you will have all the keys foe ALL the Ford wheels.



Dave.

 

dont think so ????, but i aint checked tbh just noticed when a set came in, i was talking abot the McGaurd ones they sell , im assuming as they are actually say McGaurd on em and have the same key they must be induvidual

ill check to make sure on monday so i dont mislead

 

Save the greif,and just run steel wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pete.,..

 

im strugglin to find a set of 17" steels for me cabrio

 

i know so.

The ones ford fit to their cars,there are only 10 different ones.



Dave.

 

yes, 10 sets of individual ones.


Dave.

 

ill check JUST to make sure, but i dont doubt that a man from pool would have the correct info on a subjuect like this

PS; im off now to change me wheel nuts

 

TBH it was from an article in the RSOC.

Martin, think that was his name,he had a focus RS and did a feature on it etc...went through the lot.

He said about the Ford locking nuts and said to change them as the focus had them on and sugested owners changed them to another non-Ford set.

I also have a focus and the locking nut in my car also fitted my mates car.



Dave.

 

Stu

Get a Millenco Wheel lock, put that on one wheel and im sure the tea-leafs wont bother nicking 3 wheels

 

yeah but in pool the locking wheel nut key is a deep impoact socket aint it

the key ya got, is there a serial number on it on the side and state mcgard or not ???

as if it does im about to buy a new set of locking wheel nuts

 

just looked.

Says....Mc Gard patent number 4 664 000.

think its a brown code too.

Come and steal my Zetec alloys now.

Have to buy a new set now.


Dave.

 

ahhhh bolox

 

dave cos4x4 1, b19 bal 0.



Dave.

 

well anything to do wih security you guys will have the upper hand

just glad i know learnt how to reverse into a sutibly size space on my driving test

 

Dave.

 

what did ya do in the end btw, did ya break ya car or ya gonna reshell it

belive abdr500 has a shell for sale

 

Going to re-shell it.






Dave.

 

couldnt help it

IF dave breaks his car thats a shell worth going for

 

talk about post hijack

just popped in halfords, and they are between 28-32 a set.

fook knows what sort i get tho, as the booklet by it is about as useful as a handbrake for a canoe.

im getting oz super t's, so if anyone can get the right code for me it would be much appreciated.

 

b19bal,





Dave.

 

PM xrt-si, he runs the ripspeed department at chingford, hes a real halford membeer of staff, he drives a saxo and everything

i was being serious with daves car , 1 owner and tbh aint done much milage you got all the parts for the front and when i seen it the car was fooking mint as, really really mint

 

Just a bit too expensive.

Do like the red ones though.

If i were to buy Davess car..say 4.5k, i might aswell sell mine the way it is and add the 4.5k to that and buy a cheap escort cos, save me all the messing around.



Sorry Stu.



Dave.

 

yeah but daves car aitn a cheep escos, its a fooking mint jobby, we aint even mates but i gotta admit its a nice one


but its your money

what about a motorsport shell with a wrc kit on it then line m20wrc

 

it is mint but i not into mint cars.

Still going to track the next one.



Dave.
