When I worked in Kuwait in the early eighties you could still have your hand chopped off for stealing,they may be expensive wheels but hardly worth the risk! Shocked

You can buy a kit for a few quid that removes most locking wheel nuts.
You it really worries you find a Discovery owner, most end up having to change the locking wheel nuts as the are Censored , they expand in time and you can't get them off without a lot grief, sure he will let you have his old ones.


Theres a high street hardware retailer that sells the wheel nut removers for about 20 quid. I was looking for something on youtube and came across a clip showing how mechanics remove locking wheel nuts, took the guy a couple of minutes to do it! Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

None on mine. Thumbs Up

Very wisely, the previous owner got rid of them. The locking ones break; the non-locking ones swell. To quote from the song I take my forum name from, "no, you just can't win". Big Cry

I don't worry about it because wheel theft is not common around here. It saves fiddling around every time I take the wheels of too. Freelander 2 2007 TD4 Manual HSE Tambora Flame
