Well, OD, if you take advice from Bobert's lunatic story at 05:51, just remember it is a get-you-home fix! I lost a wheel/lug nut, kicked down a storm drain (clumsy bugger) just before I set off for home for the Christmas holiday, 230 miles. OK, a Mini is a lightweight car and the front wheels do everything, so I went with three (of four) nuts on one rear wheel. The problem was, I couldn't get a nut over the break, but it was working, wasn't it? However, after 500 miles -I had to get back, of course,- I needed a new wheel because the holes were shot.

Well, three of them, anyway. ;-)
