I should probably just focus on getting an MOT on mine

Just realise mine WILL fail the MOT in 2 weeks

ABS sensor developed fault at the end of last year and I haven't got round to replacing it, and now I can't as my locking wheel nut key has broken and can't get the wheel off!! Was going to ask the garage to remove the locking nuts as I don't have equipment to do so.

Only needed maintance actualy, and I hope there will be not much needed.
In close future I must prepare it for MOT (2 weeks time)
Will see how far I can push my turbo built
And not really prelude plans but quite related is double garage conversion (this should be first on my list)

Is your locking nuts Honda ones mate?? If so, a dealer will have a master set and should remove them for you.

Nope, they're McGuard after market ones. I found a card on the tool bag with a code on it. Popped the code into McGaurd website and it accepted it as one of theirs, so ordered it. When it arrived it wasn't even close to the pattern so can only assume it was for a previous set maybe

You can remove a Mcgard one? They are the most difficult ones to remove. (but not impossible.)

this type easy.

this type a bit harder. as long as you can chizzle the collar off.

and should the worst action be required, you can always drill through the middle and get progressively bigger until you have drilled the same diameter (12mm) then you can pop the head off with a punch.
