Hi

If they are the original one fitted than you get the replacement key from the Dealer from your Vin Number.

if not, use a cobalt drill bit & stud extractor

M-H-M when we go 'shopping' simply split the 'outer jacket' with an old unloved screwdriver, then use the 'spiral' type nut remover.


Did you jump start this car as well and lost the milage?

yes makes it awkward,dont leave it too late to get a tool to remove the wheel as a flat is looming very close,if not dealer auto shops may know your make and even some dealers have a box of multiple fitments.

Sometimes you wish you hadn't started something, you say that.

EVERY BODY around the Meat-Head-Motors area have all said the same thing, along the lines of "Nice knowing you" "Don't get gang ra*ped"
"when you coming back" etc

This i s a Myth i'm afraid no data for the locking wheel nut is associated with the vin number, the lockers are put on at the dealers, dealer said i could take a clear pic of the nut and they would forward onto the lock company

also like to mention these are tempered steel cannot be drilled or split the outer ring with a hard chisel is near impossible only hope is the dynomec tool or a match from the pic i sent to the dealer
