Pre facelift 5, Locking wheel nuts.

[dragon2611]

Just to double-check but the pre facelift MG5 didn't ever come with locking wheel nuts as standard, did it?

I don't recall ever seeing a locking wheel nut key/thing, and I got the car as a pre-reg a couple of years back, so I presume unless the dealer added them it won't have them.

Otherwise I may have a problem when the tyre fitters arrive next week.

If you have the car with you, just go out and have a look, it's the only way to know for sure.

I presume they have plastic covers over them, either as part of the hubcap or separate?

Mine came without locking wheel nuts which I was very grateful for. They only stop honest people taking your wheels off, usually with a large bill to follow.

Yes, if they are alloy wheels, you should have one of these somewhere to remove the plastic covers.

Saw that under the false floor in the boot and wondered what it was for

Checked one of the wheels, think these are just standard and presumably a tyre fitter should have no issues getting them off (assuming they haven't seized)

Yep - No locking wheel bolt present on that wheel !.
This is what a genuine MG wheel bolt looks like, the face has a chrome finish.

Good, hopefully getting some cross climates put on tomorrow

Front tyres are at the wear bar (opps) rears have plenty of tread but some cracking is starting to happen around the edges so decided to eat the cost and get a fully matched set on

It's at about 19k miles and is a 22 plate

Old tyres would be the factory fit originals as far as I know
