They're not on the Subaru, but does anybody know a place around the surrey/hants borders that will knock these things off. The space around the bolts is very restricted so the normal removal tool doesn't fit. The key is a back order to France item so I'm not keen to go down that route.

Thanks in advance.

Elite in Reading did mine. Previous owner had misplaced the adapter.

I don't know what prices they charge though as mine was sorted out before I collected the car.

Vindaloo.
