Post: RE: Tyre Pressure Monitor Sensors - Snow Tyres

You might want to check if the 'M+S' tyres on the 17" wheels are going to perform better in snow than the tyres currently fitted to your 20" wheels. 'M+S' tyres aren't the same as Winter or Cold Weat...

I've just measured, as accurately as I can, my factory supplied (2013) Space Saver 155/85 R18 and it is 71cm diameter. My 20" wheels are approx 72cm dia. Hope this is of help.

Nice car Rolo. I've got rid of my locking wheel nuts. They're an unnecessary hindrance when changing wheels/tyres and I'll take my chances with the wheel tea leaves.

No, it won't lock if you just walk away with the key. You have to either touch a door handle as described above or press the lock button on the fob, twice if you want to double lock it.

Agree with PhilSkill, you would be well advised to have the bonnet fixed under warranty as you are likely to have the cost of a repaint knocked off the trade-in value when the time comes (£200-£300??)
