    I can't change my tyres....?

    Doing a few things to my car today and when i went to rotate my tyres I found that I don't have a tyre iron to fit the nuts on my wheels!

    The supplied iron looks to fit a wheel nut about 5mm or more smaller than mine.

    I would seem then that I have een given the wrong tool kit, but from what? Do base model Octavia's have different size wheel nuts?

    I have checked the foam tool carrier too and there does not appear to be any other attachment in there either.

      Do your nuts have plastic caps which pull off , the wheel bolt is underneath ?

      you should have one of these to remove the caps

      Pardon our interruption...
