ZS EV LOCKING WHEEL NUTS

[Ian]

Good evening,,

We were surprised at the lack of locking wheel nuts on the car as as standard, whilst no big deal the dealer wants £60 for a set !!!

Anyone bought some and if so can you share the source as I guess its a lot less than the MG box
Lastly wheel nut torque?

Thanks for this great forum, we are learning such a great deal from the contributors, much appreciated .

Hi Ian, I was in the same boat. I bought a set from my local motorists centre for £25. An exact size and design to a normal wheel bolt.

Morning Kev, Thanks for that, I will be visiting the aftermarket to save a few pounds. I have searched for the wheelnut torque and no success so will ask the dealer.

Found a quality brand set at less than half the dealer price locally

Just back from the garage, the bolts I bought are Defender DLB39 by car accessories ltd.

Sorry, but are you saying the new car doesn’t come with locking wheel nuts?.

 

[Ian]

Morning Mark,

My dealer wanted £60 for a set ! I have since found an MG dealer in the south selling branded genuine locking bolts for £23.95 on ebay shop. Sales manager at my dealer thinks its unlikely they would be targeted but I am not convinced so I bought a set.

I must admit that I’m really surprised that they are not supplied as standard....oh well this is why we get the vehicle cheaper than other EV’s....shame, but useful information as I probably wouldn’t have paid much attention to this if it wasn’t for this forum.

not even with Tesla Model 3 Top Model the rim locks are included, and - 1 rim with tires costs as much as a complete set for the MG

the 3rd party trade must also live

I actually removed the locking wheel nuts on my (8 year old) Volvo V70 and replaced them with standard bolts (like the others on the wheel). The locking wheel nuts were just such a hassle, as they wear over time, one jammed and had to be drilled out, on another occasion one had the little holes strip and again had to be drilled out - more trouble than they're worth. I'm not sure they help with security, as if the little urchins want to nick your wheels, they have ways of chisling locking wheel nuts round anyway... (don't ask how I know that... nothing to do with a mis-spent youth!! ). You're better off without them IMHO....

Thanks for your reply

Hello, I will soon receive my MG.
I wanted to know if these antitheft nuts are compatible with the vehicle, do you have any information.
One person mentioned a nut for a Defender DLB39 , is this compatible because it would match:

Antivol de roue McGard - 27169SU au meilleur prix - Oscaro.com.

thank you for your help

Ok thank , from France £41.70 inc postage , it's twice the price. I ordered this model but I would make a return on the dimensions for French people

 

[Chrispydoc]

Mine arrived today .....pretty quick....I'll fit them this afternoon.....a tiny drop of WD40 around the twiserly bit will keep it from seizing up.

Hi,
I have just received mine in France, compared to my old comment, the lengths do not correspond, it is better to order the officials.
If I ever find an equivalent in car shops I will give the reference of the nuts.

 

[Chrispydoc]

Mine were spot on, (14 threads on each) all fitted now.

its worth mentioning that the plastic caps on the original wheel nuts are tricky to get off. I found the best way was that small spiky tool..came off in seconds. The other thing to mention is if you intend to remove your own wheels at any time, invest £6-10? in that extendable wheel brace from Wilko's. I keep mine with the spare wheel, Makes the job very easy.
