Have a word with whoever fitted the tyres, did they not refit hte caps properly?

Try Tyres Online dot com or something similar. I got mine from there for a good price, delivered to Kwik Fit who whacked em on while the manager was out for a tenner cash in hand :P

This happened to me too when I had my tyres done. Bloody garages don't know how to put the bbs or pina caps on properly - and they just think they pull off.

i think the nut at the back of the lock must have come loose as the key don't come out unless it is fully locked or open. still not happy m8 reckons he can get them through work will find out tomorrow. :cry:
but on the plus side my other m8 might sell me his 2.7 alpina which comes
with 5 center caps !. fingers crossed on this one coz he loves it, but cant
afford it and has naggin wifey.
