After putting on my nice new 20" stormers I forgot to remove my locking wheel nut and drove away, now it's gone. I have a full set of of spares to put on, but the trouble is getting the old ones off, any help would be gratefully appreciated,

Cheers Beefbops

From what I remember there are only about 5 different types of locking nut - Your dealer will have all of them. ISTBC 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Twenty different adaptors listed as Types 'A' to 'W' (excluding I, O and Q), but I'm sure VA is right, dealer would need to have them all so would be best port of call.

you can get a special wheel nut remover for £15 from Halfords, it can only be used once though, as its cuts intot he locking wheel nut, however, if you are clever, you can slacken, and re-tighten the nut untill the cutting tool works free, leaving the locking wheel nut free. That way, one cutter can do all four, hows that for a top tip of the day  07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

I damaged my wheel nut key trying to undo my tight nuts. Took it to main dealer who tried to no avail but they gave me the number of a specialist in W Yorks.... I had to wait 2 hours but they did it with no damage to my lush wheels. Give them a try. Samsung Engineering 01274 723299
