A to Z motor spares, they have a branch in Wakefield and in Dewsbury West Yorks. Last time I needed something I ordered it Sat afternoon and got it 10 am on sunday. I haven't got their number but should be easy enough to find for BT.com or Thompson Local web site.

last Monday had my tyres fitted
Tuesday went for mot, failed on tyres (tread to extreme), exhaust, horn (not loud enough) anti roll bar bush, n/s/f bearing
changed the anti roll bar, done the exhaust, horn, roll bar bush,
come to take the wheel off and ALL the studs snap on the front, with me just undoing them with a breaker bar, wheel falls off,
the tyres were fitted by 3 apprentices, and looks like the have done the nuts up to tight as they have stretched and broken
other nuts have been cross threaded
iv`e just taken a photo
