If you can find a dealer that has supplied 4 cars with locking wheel nuts, he will have 16 spare normal nuts - quite likely I should say.

Thumbs up

My local dealer did me 16 'pre-loved' chromed-domed wheel nuts for £20 - other than that he could offer brand new Subaru parts at (I think) £4.75 each + vat of course

All the best, - I believe they have plenty more and could post them if you get stuck - Gibsons of Brock 01995 640542.

cheers guys. tried 2 dealers, neither had spare nuts(ooer!). bunch of bleedin monkeys didnt even realise the p1 nuts are different.
ah well, bmw dealer sorting it for me.
incidentally, their (bmw) exact words were" don't worry sir, its our problem, we have it in hand, and it will be sorted, no need for you to worry"
thing is they are doing ME a favour, and swopping my wheels for free, and its been aggravation for them, yet they never beef, and nothings too much trouble!
now THATS what i call service. these bmw dealers ( cooper ipswich) are the BEST dealership bar none, that i have had the pleasure to do business with. can i also say that although scoobys are great cars, their sevice guys dont know their **** from their elbows!
