This week, with the help of our friend Mark, we fitted some new J&R driveshafts, Mintex disks and pads and changed the gearbox oil.
Unfortunately the previous owner had left us without the locking wheel nut key. We tried to resolve it with a Halfords locking wheel nut remover, but broke the tool.
The next day we travelled to our local Citroen dealer, who kindly gave us all of the locking wheel nut key combinations to try.
None of the keys fit, so we went back to Citroen, who welded some large bolts on to the wheel nuts so we could remove them. We’ve kept the last one as a bit of a souvenir.
Once the wheel nuts were out, we could crack on with changing the driveshafts and brakes.
The car drives loads better. There are no more knocks from the front when turning, and we used to get a grinding noise from the rear calliper, which has also been resolved.
