Something to make you smile....

That made me smile. 

Makes you wonder what good locking wheel nuts are. Makers might do well to give the key number on a separate sheet although may be they make more by selling a set rather than a key.

I remember when I bought a new genuine battery from my local Vauxhall dealer.

A week after I bought it, the hydrometer thingie was showing black took it off and shook it and it showed green. A week later it was showing black again Put my meter on it and it was reading 13.2 volts.

Took it back and showed them and said it was a faulty battery, the guy in the parts  department shook it and it showed glowed green. 'There you are' he says. 'Gocha', I said, 'Every time it shows black, I take it off and shake it!'

After a bit of argy bargy, he replaced it.

I,ve said this before locking wheel nuts are a pain and cause nothing but problems.I wont have them on any of my cars.The last time i had problems with them i had too have 19mm bolts welded onto the locking nuts just to get them off with a socket .Nobody pinches car wheels anymore its easier too pinch the car.

Renault are ace!   Girlfriend took her new car back within a week because the heated seats didn't and to have a window seal replaced. 

When she went to collect, the seal had not been done and the "reason" given was that she had not checked with the Parts Department that it had arrived!  Seats still didn't work either because "it was electrical" and had to be taken to a sub-contractor as the main stealer didn't do that kind of work.

Or it could be because they have got locking wheel nuts on 

Locking wheel nuts, total waste of time, any self respecting wheel thief gets past them in minutes, so why bother...

Dont you believe it they will have the car away in a fraction of the time it takes too remove the wheels.

Not anymore with electrickery keys that need to talk to your car .... unless it's a BMW  Easier to break into your house to get the keys.

Wheel nuts/bolts are easy, you just need a set of these 

Vauxhall locking bolts come in a box that has the code on a bit of paper inside ..... if I had my Merc on my drive I'd look in the similar looking box.
