W124 wheel bolts

[Howard]

Right chaps , just a quickie....

Just been looking in the boot and it would appear i hae a standard 15" alloy as a spare, however with the crazy reps that are on the car, the bolts a re too long for the spare so someone has helpfully put some standard w124 alloy wheel bolts in the boot.......

However, i only have 2 presumably the other 3 i need are missing as i can't find them, would someone like to sell me some bolts that they might have sitting around in the garage, i am paranoid now as i know that i only have two bolts, you can guarantee i am going to get a puncture soon.....

If you get really stuck they are a couple of quid each from the parts dept.

I hope the rolling diameter of your spare is identical to the wheels on the car...

Those with staggered wheel setups have different rolling diameters and space-saver spares will be different too.

For the purposes of driving to a tyre shop I'm sure it'll be fine

Fair enough, but I wouldn't like to do it.....

Be careful with bolt length on the rear. You could damage the parking brake.
