    Getting tyres off with out locking wheel nut key?

    Problem number 2 (of many no doubt!) with my new purchase.... Previous owner lost the locking wheel nut key so I now can't get the tyres off. Anyone know of a 'easy' way to bodge getting the old locking wheel nuts out without damaging the alloy?

    Gear stick vibrating bady

    No there isn't any unusual vibration felt anywhere whilst driving which is why I was asking as I found it a bit strange. I'm going to get a mechanic mate of mine to give it a full service anyway in a few weeks to see whats what and I'll mention to him to have a good look at the prop shaft.

    150,000 miles too much??

    well it looks like 150,000 was too much for this particular beast, the last 11 years have not been kind to it. Bald tyres, nasty damp smell inside (although I couldn't find any areas of damp) and seriously corroded ACE pipes so didn't even bother to start and drive it. Never mind the search...

    150,000 miles too much??

    thanks for the welcome guys! Well its up for just over 2k, but might be able to get it slightly lower. It wouldn't be for my primary transport, but then again I don't want to end up spending a bottomless pit of money replacing bits that are knackered. Guess we shall just have to see what it...

    150,000 miles too much??

    Hi Guys, First post be gentle please! Going to look at a Disco2 TD5 this weekend, but it's a bit of a high miler with 150,000 on the clock on a W plate. I've had a search on the forum for things to look for and I am armed with a list to take with me, this forum is a fantastic resource! It...
