Okay - since my dad has had to start driving and looking after my '88 N/A, suddenly things are 'going wrong'. Now he's not the most honest of people, and he's always trying to get money some way or another. :3d_frown:
This is my dilemma.
I had a go at doing the brakes a few days ago (thread on here about that), couldnt do it, so put everything back together, all 5 wheelnuts back on (and I know there were, cause the garage was clean afterwards, and i double checked the tightness of the nuts), wheelnut cap back on, and he drove it off into the sunset later the same day.
Now, he's saying that a wheelnut is missing, and the cap is still on, and a 'bloke from work' says its done serious damage to the wheel by only having 4 wheelnuts on it. Next he's telling me he cant get wheelnuts anywhere, and that someone wants to charge him £35 (~$65 or so) to give him a set of 5, and that they only sell the wheelnuts in lots of 5.
I need to know - a) if the wheelnut *has* come off and just disappeared into thin air, and magically passed though the cap
b) Does driving with 4 nuts screw up the wheels? (they're sawblades)
c) Do wheelnuts actually cost that much
d) is he just a lying f*cking bastard?
Cheers and TIA
