HI Guys,

Been out in the car today and realised that i dont know if the standard eos alloys are bolted on and if so where is the unlocking tool??

Also noticed in the boot that there is a gap with staps in line with the licence place and i wondered if this is where the warning triangle goes in which case where can i get a warning tringle that fits?

Hi

They do a warning triangle in the safety pack:

But it's a bit pricey although includes a high vis jacket which is always very very attractive and therefore worth the money!!

Isn't the tool in the spare wheel space? It was with my peugeot I had before....

Fancy swapping cars with me before you go???! I really fancy the red one!

Oh go on, you know you want to!

There's always been the law that you need a warning triangle there; the change is that you need the high viz jacket now too! And you must keep it IN the car, not in the boot, as if you have to get out to get it from the boot you'll get clobbered for not wearing it! Nice guys, the French Gendarmes..

In that case maybe that pack isn't such a bad purchase! Can we have pics of you wearing the jacket next to ur Eos with the triangle on the floor??! I fancy a laugh!!!

There is a key in the box with the jack for the wheel lock. There is also a little wire looking thingy for picking off the plastic lug covers.

Click to expand...

Is the wire thingy for ladies who have false nails??! I always used to struggle with that bit when changing the wheels on my last car and broke many a nail in attempting to get the "lug" covers off!!!

Doolallygril,
Felt pretty dumb since I am an engineer. But you know engineers never read manuals, or directions. We know everything right?

I don't think it is exclusive to engineers, just men in general!!!

Just a tip for your First Aid kit. I got a packed lunch bag from Tesco, put all the First -aid stuf in there and store it in the centre pass through section. Stops it taking up room in the boot.

Wow, I've never been bothered in my 8 years of driving to take a first aid kit or emergency pack or anything with me, not even a blanket in case of breakdowns! Hmm maybe I just have a little too much faith in my trusty mobile, the rescue services and my Eos!
