Locking Wheel Nuts

Hi Guys,

So after buying my new FFRR, certain issues have come to light which I am working through. One of them is that the seller 'forgot' to tell me that when he bought it he couldn't find the locking wheel nut key............... Rolling Eyes

What is the best solution to this? I appreciate the answer may need to be PM'd but I can't even find a number so I could be in trouble if the pot holes take revenge!

Any help would be very appreciated.

Kind Regards

Get a dealer to take them off with their try before you buy keys . Thumbs Up

And then throw them in the bin , more trouble than they are worth .
Anyone that can lift three tones of car high enough to get the wheels off will have a universal locking nut extractor. Whistle 2008 MY Supercharged

Hmmm, I'm not seeing the connection between owning a jack and the necessary kit to remove locking nuts. They won't stop a determined and well equipped thief but they will stop those just cruising round looking for 'stuff' to steal (99% of car criminals). I think the reason we don't hear about lots of wheel thefts from these is that the lockers come as standard.

A new key is about a tenner, but wheels and tires will cost you a lot more. Shocked My Previous RR's!
