Some questions about my Scorpio.

Hey guys,
 
I feel like I've bought a very out of shape car, everytime I click Start new topic.  Undecided
 
Anyways, There are two problems with my Scorpio I need to fix before it's MOT. The ABS-light is always on and my ABS doesn't work. Do you guys know what causes this?
 
I've bought new rims+wintertires, however I can't get the locknuts out. I've been to the Ford-dealership and they say I have to cut them out. This will however damage all of my rims. I would like to use of them as a spare, so I don't have to use the ugly black steel one. I've managed to get two out, but the rims didn't survive. Do you guys have some alternative options?

If its the wheel lug your talking about, take a pic and post it up, there are a few ways they can be removed but it depends on the type fitted

It were indeed the locking wheelnuts, I managed to get them off using an angle-grinder. I'm still proud of myself for not screwing up the thread.  Grin
The new wheels with wintertyres are on and again I am a happy man (kid).
Last thing to sort out is the ABS, but I've got till februari, so that'll be fine.
Thanks to all of you for your advice.
