Couple of bits needed for our 10yo/135k miles Berlingo.
Last time we had tyres replaced the security bolt broke rendering the alloy wheel key u/s as there's a chunk of bolt solidly wedged in it. Tyre place sourced/provided ordinary (ie non security) bolts - these are on the front.
We have security bolts at the rear but no key.
Local Cit dealer wants £180 to supply four new security bolts and a key.
Ordered 2 non security bolts and (hopefully) I can get the old ones out - plenty of stuff on you tube etc about how to do this. If somebody actually nicks my 10yo 'well used' alloys I'll have to live with it. Not even in Liverpool where my son lives...
The plip key no longer works as a plip but it's fine in the lock on the door/ignition.
Same dealer quotes £350 to replace and programme plip.
Mrs B ain't happy but accepts we'll do what out father's did and go out in our slippers to check the bloomin thing's locked last thing.
