Locking wheel nuts - lost key
 

Changed front disks and pads on my tourer two days ago and have somehow lost the locking wheel nut remover/key (discovered today when I attempted to adjust handbrake prior to MOT on Friday).

Can anyone help as to how I remove said locking nuts?

If you are a AA or RAC member they have a tool to remove them Green Flag probably does too hope that's some help

If you contact the manufacturer, they can help you. Its www.mcgard.com. It happened to me and the German office were very helpful.

The original paperwork with the car should have a card/document with the mcgard code/serial number and you can use this to buy a new key.

I've done the same. I think the new one costs about 18 euro. Send them a picture of the wheelnut as above, as worryingly when I ordered mine from the code supplied with the car I got one that didn't fit. McGard sorted it all out without a fuss though.

Chance, You don't need to do any of the things mentioned, just PM Mangizmo, he was in the same predicament as you last December , his was rounded off and he was going to replace them with new ones of a different make. I posted him one FOC as I had just had one snap on the Wife's car so decided to replace with new different make ones.He asked if I wanted it back and I told him to pass it on to the next person in need, looks like that's you. :D
Give him a try, i'm sure he'll return the kindness I sent him!!. :}

Thanks Dadragon,

Have pm'd mangizmo and he is posting said contraption to me. Thanks mangizmo.

Please note that I will keep this remover in a safe place and will gladly post it to any member of this club that finds themselves in the same unfortunate position.

Thank you to all that offered suggestions.

On its way, should be with you on Wednesday V

awesome service. Made me smile because this is what the forum is all about -supporting fellow members - not bickering :D

Sorry I meant Thursday, I posted it on Tuesday evening V

Just happens I have a true mcgard key in this pattern, having just removed all of my lockers for this very reason. Pm me if you want it.
