Well tried to do a few things with the car today and stumbled into problem after problem!

Firstly decided to paint the calipers, got one wheel off, then on trying to get the second wheel off, the locking key destroyed itself leaving me with no way of getting 3 locking nuts off! Its not even a common nut as its round with 2 notches cut out.
Can I assume a garage will be able to get them off for me?

Secondly I went to remove the power vis and 2 screws were rusted....the vis motor was easily removed but now left with two screws (with no heads) jammed in the holes, not even pliers can get at them!

your need to whack a smaller socket over the locking wheel nut... and it will come of... common prob to be fair..

Do you mean the remains of the screws are stuck in the hols of teh VIS motors or stuck into the actual plenum?
