I rejected the breaker bar solution as I wouldn't want it rattling around in the boot. Also, I have a spider wrench in the garage. I have, instead, bought the Liftmaster impact wrench, linked by Macafee with the usual caveats earier in this thread). It is UK-sourced, and comes with cables to use either the internal power socket or direcly from the battery. The wrench, together with double-ended sockets covering 17mm - 23mm nuts, comes in a fitted case (althought I'm not sure if I will be able to get the cable back in after I use the tool). Anyway, it fits neatly behind the wheel arch on either side. The wrench will also be useful away from the wheel nuts.
Yes, but does it do the business with the wheel studs? No point finding out that it doesn't, one dark wet and windy night.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
