    Someone in the DVLA had a sense of humor

    A plate worth 10s of thousands
    Sent out to replace I guess one worth a few thousand

    Troll level high

    The original number has been transferred off (1984 or thereabouts) and 1 AN is the new number for the vehicle .
    New numbers  (for transfers) are all non transferable you only get one chance to make money on one car . I bet the guy at DVLA who allocated the new number 1AN to the vehicle was having a right giggle
    Once the vehicle is scrapped which it will be one day the number goes back into DVLA pot for the same guy to have another good laugh. Either that or there is a marker on it so it will get auctioned off in one of the DVLA fundraisers.

    Weird problem

    A few weeks ago I went to have the wheels balanced at a tyre place on a Chrysler Grand Voyager

    2 rear came off fine , 1 front was difficult the other front refused to come off .

    I have recently had some work done in a garage I have used for years (and trust) ,that would have meant that the front wheels would have been taken off , so I took it back to them assuming they had put them on too tight or with a gun . they had a terrible time getting them off , stripped 3-4 sockets and had to change at least 1 stud and a few nuts .

     

    It’s back in the same garage (different fitter) for a track rod end , wheel came off no issue .

    Changed the track rod end , took it for a road test , got back , and remembered I wanted the brakes checking

    Tried to get the wheel back off , the nuts then wouldn’t come off ,

    Swears they didn’t use air tools , were aware of the earlier issue

     

    What can make wheel nuts go from being able to come off ok , with no issue , to shearing the locking socket key and needing stud extractors to get them off after a 10 min drive >??
