Hi Guys where's the best place to get decent wheel nuts as I had a puncture and the wheel wrench in the boot was tight on the wheel nuts so much so I had to eventually hammer it on but the bigger size in my socket set was too big so looks to me as if the nuts have swollen up, any help appreciated.

Sounds painful!

[emoji23] very, at at least if it was my own it would be cheaper than the cars as I probably need to do both, hopefully I won't ever have to experience it on myself [emoji23].

Apologies if this is misinformation, bit going by what @ScaniaPBman said on another thread, he might be able to supply wheel nuts (or at least locking nuts...)

Don't the nuts have a plastic cover on that you have to remove before using the wrench? Not tried it, but vaguely remember that from somewhere.

 

if it is indeed a mk3.5 focus then the nuts should be like these, not known these type of nuts to swell. 

 

Iain,

I see I have been mentioned as a source of wheel nuts. Indeed I have a box of surplus new nuts which I have left over from some over enthusiastic ordering for my Mk2 cars.

I am however no expert on this type of critical fastener.

They were all purchased by me from the shop in Liverpool detailed in the link below...

Your contact  is Chris, he seems to be the main man there and has always been very helpful to me over the phone and email.

It would be preferable for you to give him details of your car and use those nuts he recommends.

In my original posting, the member who needed some nuts lived 'just round the corner' and I was happy that he could personally decide whether to use nuts from my box or not.

You may find replacement wheel nuts on the internet/Ebay and cheaper too, but I opted to use someone I trusted and who had helped me in the past.

Hope this helps, I have no connection with this company except as a satisfied customer.

ScaniaPBman.

PS He also supplies replacement Mcgard locking key nuts.
