Anyone got any good ideas?

do you still have the receipt for then? they often have a code you can use to get a replacment key off the manufacturer

Buy a new set and nip round to ATS, Kwik-Fit or the like. They have tools to get the old ones out.

No receipt, been on car for years, will try the ats or kwik fit route not sure I can trust them though will have to keep a close eye on them. Thanks for the private message will call back if I have no joy locally.

what sort of locking nuts are they? There is plenty of tools on ebay for removing looked nuts

[Rikki Kitto]

Just has a round shaft to the bottom of the nut then they key sits against the wheel, the shaft doesn't move so could cut into that.

You can get them off with a shotgun*.

*Tell a couple of local pikeys there's a car with nice rims parked down the road. You can be sure they'll make short work of your "locking" wheel nuts and soon have all the bolts out and the car on blocks. Use of shotgun should then become self-evident.

hammer a tight fitting socket on or get an easyout tool also known as bolt extractors. these will only work if the locking wheel nut is solid. ie the outer case dosent spin. if u know what i mean.

good luck

Oh man, that's tragic and hilarious.

Glad I didn't take it to him, got them of at the local Central Tyres place. Pants pulled down a bit £30 but no damage to wheels.
