At last I can move the wheel nuts. Ordered an extendable wheel nut wrench 17/19mm from Amazon. Reduced to £4.23 inc. p&p. Received it after 2 days. Good quality Draper. Much cheaper than ebay. Pays to shop around!

Thats not to bad a price I use a breaker bar which I keep in the boot as I have never liked the standard braces you get for some cars and also remember to torque wheels as with longer wrenches you can over tighten.

Thanks for the heads up- just ordered one too!
Local tyre fitter had the nuts very tight so loosened and torqued to 92 lb/ft, better prepared for the next time!

A smear of copper grease on each nut thread will ensure hassle free removal
