If you can’t get it off yourself any decent garage will for a small consideration.

Then, get the other 3 off and throw them away and replace with ordinary wheel nuts.

Wheeltheft was a 70 - 80s crime. Now they nick the whole car.

Do you mean the actual wheel nut or the key for removing them?

Cheers

I got the Autobiography 22” Wheels so prefer to keep the locking wheel nuts, I’m hoping to get a replacement key. 🤞

Have a look at the key, should be a letter stamped on it i.e A, B, C etc. 20 different letters in all, just order key with same letter from dealer. Quite often happens if some clown uses a windy gun on the key.

Yeap got the letter and will phone the dealers tomorrow. Cheers Col

I actually managed to damaged it whilst tightening the nut manually after changing my rear brakepads. So cant start the front pad job until I get my key sorted. 🙁

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you were personally a clown, mainly referring to one at Crapstone Landrover Aylesbury, who did it my own car, ended up going to another dealer to get all wheel nuts loosened as they were well overtightened after a service.

Cheers
