Lost wheel bolt

Post by Bigkeg » Wed Nov 24, 2010 2:56 pm

As stated above, had a new set of tyres put on the back
a couple of weeks ago just noticed that the locking wheel bolt
is missing I have the the wheel stud. Obviously the garage
did not tighten that one up. Any ideas as to where i can get a replacement
dont want to buy full set.

Sorry cant help re the parts.

I dont know if the lock nut pattern is identical to all cars or not.

Maybe call fab recycling or quarry motors & see what, ( if anything), they can sort you with.

Personally I would call the garage/tyre outfit that did the work, explain matters & ask them to resolve. Of course they could argue someone has since removed it from your car but I would counter argue any reasonable person would dismiss that scenario. If fail to resolve then it says a lot about them, (& may influence where you take the car in future). If they accept their likely failure than simply ask them to resolve it. They can call dealers or breakers to resolve, (assuming they dont have a box full of similar items prior found after customers have left !).

I think you will need a full new set, can normally get new keys, not heard of getting new bolts. easily found on ebay around the £10-20 mark.
