As in the description, I am looking for a rear centre wheel cap and 5 wheel nuts for a Nissan Patrol Y61 (original rims).

Tried the usual auction website and some breakers but no joy.

Some idiot tried to steal my rear wheel overnight, removed the centre wheel cap and 5 wheel nuts. The only saving grace was my locking wheel nut which they couldn't remove. Unfortunately I didn't notice untill I got home after a 45 mile journey.

You could try Nissan themselves, you never know they might be cheaper than auction sites. I had to replace 2 wheel studs that had snapped when someone tried to steel my rims. I bought them from local dealership and they were nearly half the price that auction sites were charging

Centre wheel cap is £27.50 + VAT and a wheel nut is £3.53 + VAT from the dealer. Was hoping that somebody might have a wheel cap lying around.

Will try Nissan1st tomorrow and otherwise it will be money in the bank for the dealer.

I have almost a fullset of Y60 wheel nuts if they fit. let me know.

otherwise take one from each of the other wheels and that should get you safe to drive.(4 or 5 on each ):thumb2
