FINALLY! I got the car to a local garage and got the front locking nut removed  :D Only snag is it ruined the wheel around the bolt hole  >:( never mind eh? at least the tyre with the 3 inch split and the tyre with no tread are off !
The 2 steels on the front looks pants though and my wallet is £20 lighter (thanks GM and Mcgard for making such a rubbish product)

The DTi has had some much needed attention today. New pads all around and some nice heated MV6 leather Recaros :)
