That piece of plastic cr@p is the thing that comes with the wheel change kit, possibly now I'm thinking "only" for Discos, which is meant to remove the cover on a locking wheel nut.
Maybe P38s don't have them or have summat different.
The cover makes the nut look like all the others except for the dimple in the top, designed to stop you being fick and busting a gut to take the cover off an ornery nut, which will break the tool, altho they will break even when used properly, cos they is sh1t.

This delivery was handballing with a wheelbarrow, it’s a kitchen extension with a wet room, we live with two people who are learning disabled and the shower in the bath arrangement is getting a bit much for them….us as well, to be honest so we are ‘future proofing’ things.
It’s a big house, why the original builders didn’t put in a decent sized kitchen in is a puzzle?

That clarifies it. Looks like you were going some to do it all in 20 minutes unless there were a few of you.

I used to have a 1928 house that had two fair sized downstairs rooms, but only had a galley kitchen. Even in those days I guess builders used to cut costs where they could. :rolleyes:
Lots of peeps knocked the dining room wall down to make a big kitchen diner.
It was detached too, not that that means much I suppose.
 
Just noticed on the box for these lamps it says "This lamp is not intended for domestic use"!!!
And shows two little images for "intended use" either in a street light standard type thing or or a street type light that is attached to a wall!

Oops, they are replacements for under kitchen cupboard bulbs!
Even the Dutch have their little Nanny state!!!
(Still made in P.R.C.):rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Aye ours is detached, 2 massive downstairs rooms and a pokey kitchen, 4 bedrooms,1 large 3 medium and a bathroom big enough to be another bedroom, one of the downstairs has a huge wood burner for cooking and hot water so I suppose the must have used it as a kitchen and dining room but the location of the log burner prevented us fro ‘knocking through’ and having a smaller living room but much bigger kitchen.
Three of us on the barrows, the builders a local lad and we agreed I would do some of the labouring to avoid hiring a third hand who would have been surplus to requirements most of the time

Sounds like your house may be a bit older. The log burner may then be where the range would have been. Maybe the kitchen used to be a scullery/pantry.
House designs around the country are fascinating.
Yours sounds a bit like my grandparents places in Hull. Where they used to live in what used to be the kitchen, they had a "Room" at the front they never used except for high days, holidays and when the priest came to visit. The kitchen was in an add-on at the back which was once outside. i.e. a 1930s style extension. You stepped down into it.
All good fun!

Well that's nearly the same year as our place in UK. But ours is a Swedish designed timber frame place. Very sensible and convenient. Kitchen is square. Lounge and dining room are connected by two doors to make a wide opening so then an L-shaped lounge if you want.
Maybe the local big wig, or his dottir had a hand in the design. Maybe they didn't like cooking!;)

Looked at putting one of those on our land, there’s a few around here, nice looking houses,and quick to build, but apparently I would need to fill more brown envelopes than I can afford to get planning permission.

fort you didnt need planning permission for building houses anymore? especially if its a small village in greenbelt

You don't need planning for extensions under a certain size (permitted development) but for a new house you certainly do, and boy have I checked, stuck a static up therein the finish and had a letter from the council within a week warning me not to do this, that and tother, apparently putting in a septic tank could class it as ‘permanent fixture’

Worked out why my socket split.:rolleyes:

The wheel nuts, like many on others' I suspect, one or two have swollen due presumably to rust under the stainless steel cover, so the socket don't go on them easily without a bash from a hammer. And I suppose after a few times of doing this my socket just said "Feck this for a laugh, I'm out!"

Annoying little feckers these nuts. Never had anything like it on other cars. Wish there was some way of remedying it other than buying new ones.
I'll have to buy new ones and experiment with the old. If I come up with a remedy I'll post it.;)
Maybe just simple enough to take the cover off and live with the slightly smaller nut. Polish it maybe and keep it clean with a bit of oil on it to stop it rusting.
Not something I've read about elsewhere.:confused:

What you have described is the same wheel nut set up as my fender. A couple of years ago I invested in a top quality breaker bar and 6 sided socket and keep it in the fender in case of need. If you want to go one better, use an impact quality socket with the breaker bar.
