    Happy Birthday Halo!

  2. I think with most agreements u get 14 days to cancel with no loss, i could be wrong but am sure it would say in any agreement that u signed. Halo
  3. Having spent some time working in different garages and seeing this problem several times I can only tell u what i tried and had success with. Depending on the type of locking nut, u have a few options. The first one i would try is to find an old double hex socket that is smaller than the size of the locking nut and batter it on with a hammer and then try turning it. Other methods i have tried involved a hammer and chisel to make a flat screw type slot and then use an impact driver to try to slacken it off. Finally its down to drilling and a small chisel until u can get the wheel off which can be messy and time intensive. Halo
  4. If your car is a manual there is one other thing to try. Open up the battery so u can see the fluid levels. Get someone to get into the car. Put the car in gear, hand brake on, foot on the foot brake, keep your foot off the clutch and try to start the car. As the car is in gear and the starter is trying to turn the engine it will put a lot of strain on the battery for a few seconds. If u see any bubbling coming from the battery it is going to need replaced. I know its a bit of a drastic way to check a battery but it is easy way to do it if u dont have a tester. Failing that am sure if u take it to a garage they will happily check your battery for u. please note to be care full if u try first method not to get run over, only turn ignition key for a couple of seconds. If your car is an Auto u will need to get battery tested
