wow - they are expensive but sound like fantastic quality. To be honest though, Clare's car has got a max of 1 problem nut per wheel which isn't too bad for 7 years old so I'm not sure I can justify the cost of those unless it were for an amazing restoration on a special vehicle!

Clare's bought a few things from lrparts.net before as well in the past including some door handle covers which turned out to not fit and they refunded her with no problems at all.

Delivery is £8 for one set or more so if you fancy we can save on postage :)

Well we don't need a full set so we could always buy a set (or two) and then if people need some they can buy a few.

One set with P&P works out as £2.50 a nut. Anyone want a full set or just a few?

It is confusing! I keep thinking I've written things when I haven't.

I was tempted to change my Avatar to be as confusing but that's what you all want so you'd all change back - so there's no fun in that. It's more funny that you lot are confusing yourselves.

£220! For a set of nuts all round! Cheaper to replace routinely.

I've still got my original nuts and they are fine. I replaced my locking nuts with some newer stainless ones and they are ok at the moment, but I bet I'll be replacing them before I do the originals.
