Breakdown service or local mobile mechanic will be able to get it off

AA, but car now back at digs. Got a wee electric compressor in there but only drives a couple miles before it's under 10psi again. 

 

Called in to Kwikfit n they said no chance with what they have there - and please don;t all start shitting on them...they fill a niche.

So on a similar subject, the car has Jade R wheels with these silly little wheel nuts... but the spare is a standard GT wheel (with a brand new P Zero  ). Will the same wheel nuts hold the standard wheel on or is it the usual Toyota flat washer bit?

 

 

Only needs to get me three miles to the tyre place...

You realise that's a bit scary, right?

Are those steel you have on there.. Because I have spline versions and the sockets are very strong... And the amount of times I've taken them off and theve lasted 4 years so far.hope you get one to sort you out

With huge thanks to Arizona for coming over this evening I am now mobile again 

 

Dirty I know but does the trick... 

 

 

Now need to sort a pair of tyres

Happy to help , I've eaten a bit too much chocolate now - nearly bedtime and i've got a sugar rush 

[Guest Ambermile]

Just replaced all the nuts, lucky I did since half of them were rusted to the point that a slightly used key would strip the splines

[Guest Ambermile]

Just sayin'

 

Old and New. No, I didn't replace with the same style, I used the torx ones.
