Default New 75 Club CDT Owner

Just saying hi after just purchasing a 2001 75 CDT Club Saloon

It's only done 53k and has good service history, but is due an Oil & Filter change, which I'll do together with PCV filter change.

Only problem I have so far, is a lost locking wheel nut key but it has original locking nuts, so if I'm correct, it will be either a No. 11 or No. 12 ?, so just got to establish which it is and buy one.

Cheers

Hi and welcome, if it's a no.12, it'll have splines all around, contact Trikey, I think he has some. Also, when you get one, take all the lock nuts off and throw them away Fit normal bolts

That's great, thanks for the info.

Here's some pics of mine, not great but can you tell from these if it's a 12 ?.

They are a bit rust !!!!

I'll get some better pics if they aren't good enough.

Cheers again

Looks like a 12 to me See how bad they look, that's why getting rid is recommended

Yeah you're right, they are not very good eh ?.

So you think it's worth a punt on a No.12 key ?.

Cheers
