It's nice to hear from you Supa

Why do you have to have Peugeot ones? any after market type would do?

Notice things have changed a bit here?

I actually thought about you last night! No, really I did! you see I smelt a funny whiff in my car and remembered you..





..had the same problem with a 'burning coal stove' smell in the cabin

How is black beauty anyway?

When I bought my tubby I had lockable nuts and no adaptor on the rear wheels
I managed to hammer a socket onto the nuts and get them out thank gawd!

I don't want any. A few years back I cleaned my car out and put all the junk in my house while I hoovered and cleaned the inside. That night I went to see a mate and, on the way home, in the middle of nowhere and at about 2 am I had a flat. The trouble really started when I opened my glovebox for the "nut", only to realise I'd left it indoors with the rest of the junk. Stupid, stupid. Queue 2 mile walk home for it, followed by 2 mile walk back. Wheel changed, off home to bed. A couple of days later I had the flat fixed and went to put it back on the car. Umm, where's the nut? I can only think I was so tired I'd left it on the side of the road. STUPID, STUPID. I walked up and down that road for hours but I couldn't find it, the dealers couldn't help me either, I even had the box but it didn't have the right numbers on it. It took me hours to get the locking bolts off, I damaged the wheels while I was at it too.

Please, steal my wheels, I deserve it.

If a tealeaf wants them they'll get them off anyway, lockable nuts or not.
At least that's my philosophy & an excuse not to clean the wheels!

Argh Bejesus Steve.....

The walk there,

The walk back,

The search,

The remove old nuts,

The damage,



*shakes head*

Why can't all women be like this?
