@@GentilsGarage Strange thing I went out to look at the nuts and there were nice plastic caps on them which I hadn't noticed after a recent service!. However I noticed one wheel the front passenger wheel only had the locking nut with 2 other nuts rather than 4?. Is this safe?. They weren't missing beside each other they were spaced out. Ford Focus MX2 2008.
@@GentilsGarage apologies embarrassing error by me. It wasn't that they weren't there it's that they weren't capped like the others 🤦♂️. I only realised when I went to the breakers yard for spares. Still bought a capped pair meaning they are all 19mm and you don't have to use 2 seperate wrenches on them. Also look better all capped. Fiver for 2, bargain.
Hi thank you so much for your videos I have also focus mk2 I am learning do it myself by your videos, I have one issue could you maybe provide me an idea what it could be and what parts I should look and eventually change. My steering is stable but its a bit vigiably and the starting is vibrating when I am breaking, front brake discs and pads new but the back are old. I will make my first videos when I am changing the turbo and other works, I have never tried doing anything with cars before but I find it very fun aldoh my expertise in life is something totally different! :)

I purchased a set of aftermarket wheel nuts off a supplier on ebay, lovely chrome finish for about 2weeks, they are now going rusty. Supplier company on ebay not interested in refund
id still ditch the locking wheel nuts, since if you lose the key, your stuffed, ask me how i know, and like you say "who stteals alloy wheels these days
Great video. Mine are quite rusty now come to think about it. It never really crossed my mind either and im interested now!.

@@seeyouthen very strange and not safe at all. All nuts should be there.
@@GentilsGarage okay I'll replace straight away

Thank you very much.
I would check the steering components, such as the track-rod end and lower ball joint.
U can cut the crime cover of where it ends the angled bit just grind or file around and it slide off
Could I have the link too these wheel nuts please
The eBay link is on the video description
@@GentilsGarage I got them on Amazon for £22, stupid question, did you have to jack it?
@@antonyoneill9057 no, just replace one by one
Hi great video, I'm changing mine too. What did you set the torque wrench too, I'm seeing conflicting numbers , thanks
Thanks. I Googled around and the most common was 110nm, so that’s what I used
Thank you
Can you send me the link for the wheel nuts mate

I got rid of them a couple of days ago. The set I bought was only available with 16 at the time, hence why I bought it
