Tom's Sanitary towel

I do like these - honestly, when I saw this I genuinely put my head in my hands and went "oh no..." because, as most said, the engines are seriously underpowered.

Love the shape and drivability though! A nice upgrade! Good work!

I'm getting really bored of hearing 'seriously underpowered'... If the figures weren't written down you wouldn't even know until illegal speeds.

But thanks, I agree on the looks and handling.

ref locking wheel nuts. there are kits to remove them.
ie. http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p81815?s...20nut%20re

I have one of those kits.  But these have a separate spinning outer part purposely so people can't use removal keys on them.

Though I imagine with enough brute force and ignorance I could smash that outer ring off maybe.

mmmm, bummer! grinder?

I don't like grinders, I'm clumsy enough with manual tools let alone power... But I don't think itd work without wrecking the wheel though.

Don't take the other nuts off first, they need to be tightened otherwise it's doing more work not less. If they're mcgard you can order replacement keys iirc as you'll have the no on it.

My poor wording there, I mean remove the other locking nuts first in case I ruin the key! The key still works atm but has about 2mm of play in it lol.

I do have the wheel nut key code that I can order from Ford (or McGard as well?) but it's not just the key, they nuts have been rammed on with an impact gun as they all look a bit dodgy.

As I say though, I have a set of wrong ones (2 piece 110Nm) on the Focus where the wheel bolts are single piece and 130Nm. So either the lockers have to be overtight or the normals have to be a bit lose atm lol. Really not ideal and I can only assume they were replaced before my ownership. However they haven't been munched at all so will buy a new set of one-piece lockers for the Focus (been meaning to for the last month) and put the Focus ones on the Fiesta.
