What tax band is your car in to be £300 a year road fund licence. My 1.4 is only £130 a year. |
Not sure what band it is mate, I paid £260 afew months ago, but apparently its now gone up to 290 something.

Update on the locking wheel nut problem: Took it to my local tyre shop and they said they would be able to get them off no problem, They said they have had 3 other people in just today with the same problem.
Just got off the phone to them and all the locking nuts are off, just waiting on a Toyo Proxes T1R to be fitted tomorrow 
Thanks for all the suggestions & help its much appreciated.
Luke.

No locking wheel bolt is 100% theft proof, not even McGards, they can all be removed with the right equipment

Of course, but with an air gun and socket / bolt removers the anti theft type is going to make a hell of a lot harder

About a minute per wheel for McGards with the right tools
Its just very noisy

I can think of a few things that would destroy it, just not damaging the wheels is the awkward part
