locking wheel nut help
#1
So I'm really at the end of my tether with this car. After a long agonising time just trying to get white alloys, finally I go to get them fitted today. And what happens? The locking wheel nut decides to bust all it's pins leaving the garage wanting to charge me £15 a pop to break them off. So what id like to know is does anyone have an original pug locking wheel nut key with the below pattern

No one will have the same key as you. Locking nuts would be pointless if that was the case!

Kinda thought that, but guy at garage said I'd be able to. I tried to say otherwise but as a woman obviously I was talking rubbish

Logically, it would be a logistical impossibility to stock an infinite amount of types of locking wheelnut. You'll find there will be circa 20 types of them on 306's, so the statistical chance of finding someone with the same key (only the key is numbered normally) is slim.

I had to take the same type off once on a breaker when the key snapped its pins. Tighten the other three bolts up a bit to relieve the tension slightly on the locker. Smash an 18mm 12 sided socket on and use a breaker bar to crack it off.
