Hi, hope some knowledgable people may be able to help,

- where is the best place to get locking wheel nuts? My local shop said £16, ebay have them for about £12 any other good places people know of?

- has anyone had an issue with the central locking packing up? I was driving along 1 week ago and the ctel locking kep coming on and off on its own for a good 5 minutes or so. Then the folowwing day the central locking just would not work . Everything has to be opened manually.

- also the drivers window is very temperamental. opened after holding the button down for like a minute. anyone had this issue before?

- abs light keeps coming on but I beleive that just needs a cable under the rear seats reattaching.

best place is the cheapest you can find that sell MC gaurd sets mate, about £20 but dont rust like the other crap ones


central locking is a problem on these models, not sure what the cure is though


the window could be the switch, mine was tempermental, swapped the switches to see if it was the switch and it was


the ABS lights are a common fault also, normally the sensors on the rear, could be some dirt in them, give them a clean, oh and yeah the cable could have come out from the seats, somethings un plugging the cable then plugging it back in can cure it, normally the sensors though, mine comes on when the car is under load, eg more then 3 people in the car ;)

hope that helps
