I'm just going to swap the front and rear tyres, eek the most out of them should I be returning the vehicle, and I find I can't remove the plastic nut covers.

I've had a google about and it seems I should be looking for a pair of tweezers, but I can't find them.

Any idea where they should be in the plastic arrangement below the spare wheel in the boot?

Further searching online makes it sound like it's an oft forgotten tool from new cars. I may be searching in vain.

Just had a slanging match to get it for free from the dealers when they quoted me £0.88 and I said I'm not paying for it. Picking it up tomorrow.

Its somewhat typical that the dealer wants to hold a "spirited discussion" with an already disillusioned customer over an 88p item. I do hope you get a decent resolution soon.

I must say that Wuffles reminds me of the film "The Green Mile", or maybe Jesus. All that is bad and evil in the world seem to be heaped on his shoulders so that the rest of us might be free.

I am really sorry, Wuffles, but grateful

Seems really mean spirited I know, but I always think when I reread 'The Saga' "Thank God it's not me" Do you think he could be the official forum sin eater?

My car was missing the towing eye! Shoddy factory line it seems.
