:rolleyes: Hello, problems with the fiesta continue....(its going into the garage a week on DFriday when its payday:rolleyes: if I can find a reputable garage)

It has alloy wheels on it and no locking nut to get them off. does anyone know where I can get one from or will garages have one? i am sure they have this prob all the time...!

Garages and tyre places will have the kit to deal with this.

I didn't have the locking nut key for my wheels, the garage used a socket and hammered it onto the locking nut to remove it, a bit brutal, but it worked.

Any garage should be able to employ a method to remove them. Just make sure the method they employ doesn't damage your alloys or the wheel hub.

If it has genuine ford alloys / locknuts a dealer can supply a key for about £15. Have you got a little plastic bag with a coloured dot in the glove box ?
