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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ambermile Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) 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...

Guest Ambermile Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ambermile Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Just sayin' Old and New. No, I didn't replace with the same style, I used the torx ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
