With regard to the stranded locking wheel bolts - I've got a few off in the past by welding a 1/2" socket set extension bar to the bolt and then undoing it. I quickly cool the weld by carefully adding a small amount of water and then immediately try to unscrew it - I think the temporary heating helps.

Default Headlight Restoration

So I finally got around to restoring my headlights.

I tried the YouTube solutions of sanding the lenses to eliminate the fogging. I had moderate success with the miguires headlight restoration kit but a few days later they refogged. So after looking at the forum I saw on another post that there was a guy in Brighton who could do a professional restoration so thought I would give him a try. His details below :

Called Steve and he came to me and within an hour, I had new headlights. Amazing job at £30 per side.
