|  I've bought quite a few Octy ones so if they are the same (to fit over a 17mm A/F bolt) they are easily bought from your friendly dealer  Steve

| Just out of interest is this for a locking wheel nut? I'm waiting to pick up my VRS and forgot to check whether they came with locking wheel nuts - can someone please answer this |

| If you've got alloys and "locking" wheel bolts, check that the special adaptor for the thiefproof bolt actually fits it! Mine didn't, and the only way to find out which pattern of adaptor should have been supplied is for your dealer to get hold of the (one and only) reference set of adaptors, and try them all to find which one fits. This takes time during which you are driving round in a car with wheels you can't remove! |
