    cutting out

    is it a td5 manual? i take it you have checked the red plug on the injector loom for oil. also the starter motor connections needed a good clean up on mine. had pretty much the same problems and cleaning them 2 up helped for a bit. then i got the, air bleed valve and non return on the fuel...

    Wheel nut caps spinning

    sharp screwdriver used like a chisel to peel off the cap to get to the 26mm nut under it. its something to do with the different metals corroding together. my wheels were stuck to the hub too. i got some replacement caps online(still haven't put them on yet)

    are you talking about the alloy nut caps(27mm socket) underneath is a 26mm nut. i took a screw driver to the cap to get it off. replacement caps are available.
