Weegie, yours is the PRE 2005MY Facelift with the "old type" black wheel nuts...

Roberts is the post 2005MY silver nuts sir

Goodmorning guys
Sorry was out for a great dinner last night, just recovering...
@Wiggy, indeed perigaud, hopeless , 24 not working for LR anymore. Their computer broke down and they did not buy another (this is true )
Thanks for your offer but your nuts and mine are not the same

@ Trev, thanks, if you were up the road you should have dropped in for at least a coffee

@ Rosco, thanks I'll try to make better pics after I have taken a shower

even if you drill these off, you will then have the added problem of having to then replace the wrecked wheel stud, thus the hub may then require removal to press out old remains. i think the 'buy a set' version is the logical method. i had an awful time with some merc bolts, i ground those down with a powerfile, but they were bolts, so easy once the head had gone, to just unscrew...

if you grease the hole, you could make a mould with some thick bodyfiller, or epoxy putty, and send it to a dealer...

i feel your pain, and French isolation!

Well my wife reworked some pics of my wheelnuts and now I see that there are 4 holes.
Someone recognizes these nuts? Do the openings look like being in the same place as yours.

I know I could have made a funnier text, sorry....
