    Really? Take a left just before the bridge and it takes you out onto the clane road.

    Ya, not sure if you know the bolts, they have a big reinforced washer type thing that sits into the recess and then the stud is extended to sit flush with the wheel

    Actually here's a pic

    I came out to my car after work today, and the door seal on the drivers door has disappeared!

    Am mildly bemused as it's not something easily detachable when the car is locked!
