nuts

Why do Merc used 5 nuts instead of 4? I observed even for A-class there are 5. Most cars used 4 but replacing with 5 for larger cars. Anybody experienced any nuts working loose while the car being driven?

Hi guys, i am due to put my 225/40/18 tyres with 18" AMG ii's (REPS) on this weekend. I currently don't have locking nuts as i doubt the original wheels are worth much for anyone to steal. I am just wondering do i need a certain type of locking nut, eg straight from dealer. Or are the sets...

I'm due for a new tyre or two and would like to replace my wheel nuts, the heads of which have rusted. I've seen them for sale on Fleabay but I can also see there are different types so would appreciate a word from the wise. I have the standard 16" 5 hole alloys on my 2001 W210 E320 CDi. I...

Actually wheel nuts. I had the pleasure today of doing some brake work on a forum members car. Before I name and shame have a guess who has 6 (six) locking wheel nuts on his rear wheels and only 2 (two) on the front. This member lives within 40 miles of Kirkham, has been to Northern GTG's and...

Has anyone had the pleasure of watching NUT’s TV on digital. If you thought the magazine was bad then you ain’t seen nothing yet. Although may be that’s unfair because I didn’t give it more than 5 mins before turning over. At one point they had a very slim and attractive lady was talking to...

Hi, Does anyone know what size or spec of locking wheel nuts I need for my W203 wheels? Ebay has loads but I don't know which ones to buy? Cheers R2

I think the crank position sensor has gone in the 55 which may explain the random cut outs, anybody know where I can get a part number from online so I can get one from a friend, also would be good as the water and oil temp sensors have gone on the Audi and the fuel consumption is worse than the...

Hi, Can anyone help me please. I have a W140 (94) with front screen wipers that won't turn off except if I pull either the control fuse (No15) or the wiper motor fuse (No4). All speeds work, but no intermitten. Sometimes they park but always in the wrong the place. The drawing shows the...

Hope someone can help. My car sounds like nuts and bolts. also a delay with turbo charger kicking in when I need to get away at a London roundabout - before being rammed. Something else worth a mention. The fog lamp had the bulb cover within the sealed unit fall off. This is not deemed...

The wheel nuts on my 203 saloon have all gone rusty. Anyone recommend a reasonably priced supplier, preferably online, or must I go to the stealers!?:confused:

Be careful how you tighten front wheel nuts on your W210 ! Tried to replace front tyres on E300TD last week. Tyres fitter (Costco) called to say could only release 2 of 10 wheel nuts. I arrived and with the largest bloke in the fitting bay could not shift the other 8. ( Drove home, scaffold...
