quick question

[admob]

on the locking wheel nuts on new 172s, what does the key look like and how many holes are there in the nut??

Humour me please!

the reason Im asking is that when I got my michelin tyres replaced, the garage said that the wheel nuts and key were non reno, and as one of them was cross threaded I would have to buy a new set and a new key. the original was silver and the nuts had 5 holes. the dealer said that all reno clio 172s have the same key!! 3 hole nuts with a small black t shaped key!! is this correct!

that key they are on about is the key to get the cap off the center of teh wheel not a locking wheel nut key and yes its 3 prong or well mine is and every other one i can remember

Yeah, its a 3 pronged thingy, I had a flat a month ago on the German autobahn, by the time Id slowed down the tyre was completly fooked, didnt damage the wheel though, thank god.

t key is for the wheel caps,the locking wheel nuts are a single one peice shape.they did away with the locking wheel nuts with the pins because they used to break.

Ye I had to buy the key for the caps from renault.. wasnt very expensive IIRC
