If nobody here can help you, try a motor factor, you might be luckier.

Most tyre places should be able to remove them. Or your mechanic.

Adapter is the usual spelling.

Any actual advice you could advise?

Glad you got sorted.

Lock nuts are an absolute waste of time, IMHO. I'm not sure why manufactures bother with them. I have them on one car. They only ever inconvenience the vehicle owner. Anyone who's going to go to the trouble of stealing your wheels isn't going to be even slowed down by them.

Adapter is more often used when referring to a person, and adaptor is used when referring to a mechanical device.

Lol! It took you a week to come back with that, and you still managed to leave out half the pertinent information from the quote you copied and pasted! And the bit you left out actually proves the opposite of what you’re claiming! 🤣

Some people say that you can distinguish these two words by their meaning, but in truth, they mean the same thing. It is not widely observed, but the word adapter is more often used when referring to a person, and adaptor is used when referring to a mechanical device.

But well done for sticking with it!

I'm online once a week. Just because it's not widely observed doesn't make them correct.
