The dealers should have a full set of the tools, take it there and get them to check them.... Pete

There is no easy solution Robert... BUT PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING!!! DO NOT let anyone try chiselling them off! They are a two piece unit and the outer is made to brake if anyone tries stealing them and is made of some kind of super hard grade of steel that can only be drilled using special drill bits etc etc...

I did wonder if they'd work, had the earlier ones on mine and they would work for them but now I've got the later wheels I didn't bother with locking ones, they get full of mud and don't work that well on an offroader....

Craig, how many different ones are there? I took mine off and chucked them, after all it's difficult enough getting the wheels off a Range Rover Will a detailed photo from Robert help, then someone can lend him a key or if they've done what I've done just send him the old key. Geoff |

Not sure Geoff, we have 8 or so of them here but I just don't know just how many different types there are? They are lettered A, B, C etc but I'm unsure if its every letter is used or not? |

I believe they have to be drilled using a really really expensive super hard drill bit So, best left to the professionals IMHO |

Oh yes Geoff, good idea but Looking at these nuts I don't see anything to distinguish them from other nuts |

think the problem with the code on the nuts is that its stamped on the side from memory so near enough impossible to see with the nut in place You can paypal direct using - www.paypal.me/duckworthparts
