WANTED - Wheel nuts or tool

Blimey

Well found Chris!

I'll give him a try - thank you.

Bit scary if it's that easy might as well not have them

Do people actually still go around nicking wheels these days?
I suppose could understand it if it was a set of wheels from some new and expensive Bentley or something - bar stewards the lot of them

Funny you should say that, Mark....I lost the wheel nut key for my Cherokee...
I took it to one of the tyre outlets and they removed them for me using a hydraulic crusher... brilliant....but the manager said just that to me when it was finished..."don't bother with lockers, people don't nick wheels nowadays".
Wish I had his optimism !!!!

i suppose they don't............ its quicker to take the whole car these days.

Got me thinking back to many years ago when the Manager at the company I worked for, returned from holiday to find that the 5 wheels on his office chair had been removed & the chair left on 5 bricks.

Don't have locking nuts on my Jimny. It feels like every vehicle these days has alloy wheels, so suspect you need security for steel wheels these days

Looks like Chris Baxter may have found the solution - I had a reply from the fellow on eBay who sounded positively optimistic

I chanced £20 and will know in a few days...

Yep, lilke your places around Leeds and Bradford, there are places in the West Midlands that I wouldnt drive through at less than 30mph for fear of someone nicking the wheels!

Chis Baxter, Sir

A huge "THANK YOU" to you for sending me that link.
Andrew Ghey immediately identified and sent me the correct replacement adapter for £20 saving me a lot of stress, time, and hassle. Luckily my tyres stayed inflated in the interim!

For anyone else that might find themselves in a similar predicament in the future and finds this thread, Andrew is contactable directly at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. - just send him a clear photo of the locking-nut. He's friendly and communicative and will get a replacement to you very quickly.
I can't thank him (or Chris Baxter) enough.

I am however still on the lookout for 4 x standard Jimny alloy wheel-nuts... so anyone breaking a Jimny I will be at the October meet-up and could pick them up then.

Glad to hear Andrew delivered for you Max.
I'm no off-roader but old habits die hard, I always keep a spare key tool (one in the car, one in the shed) and a set of standard nuts for punture likely outings. I bought a set of 5 Febi 46694 nuts for £25 but if I was buying again I'd chase down a set of second hand ones.
Chris

I have some that I can bring along with me
