Right nutters
Having lost the key to the locking wheel nuts on my Volvo, I was shocked to be quoted £172 to drill them out by a Volvo main dealer. Instead, Volvo referred me to McGard in Germany who, given a digital image of the locking nut, proof of id and vehicle ownership, despatched 2 replacements next day for €30. They were helpful, efficient fast and cost effective - cannot praise them enough. Their website is www.McGard.com.
