Im looking at getting a fresh set of bolts and locking nuts to replace my originals seen as ive spent ££££ on the exterior recently...

Does anyone know the sizes i would need? im looking to order them off the tinterweb now and dont have the car or manual with me

Don't waste money on locking wheel bolts. Chuck your existing ones in the bin ASAP. Fcuking waste of time and cause of untold misery.

I dont actually have any at the moment anyway...not advisable then? how come?

Nobody in the history of the VX has ever had wheels stolen but loads of us have had problems with i) the locking bolts breaking ii) the key breaking iii) the key being lost iv) the key being trapped underneath the bonnet with a broken release and not being able to take a wheel off to sort the broken release because the key is trapped underneath the bonnet v) they only slow a tealeaf down by about 20 seconds anyway.

Couldn't even see any bolts on there but they're M12x1.5 threads and think they're about 23mm long but I've got replacement bolts fitted that came with my TD wheels, so might be slightly different length wise. Dunno.
