Hi All
I am in France and went to get new front tyres fitted today, i ordered the Goodyear F1 that are the original tyres I think as they are written on inside of door, when i arrived I realise I have no key for the locking nuts! They would not try to get them off so no I am at home with two tyres!! the local garage said it takes a long time to get them off 1 hour for 2 wheels and thats 40 euros at least.. i called Peugeot and they said I have to go there and a new key is 80 euros, please can anyone suggest the best option?
No wheel nut key please help!

Re: No wheel nut key please help!
Did you look in the "tool box" normally stowed in the boot - it should be in that.
If that's no good, I think you will have to pay the 40 euros. But that will still leave the rear wheels locked - so maybe 80 euros for a new key is not so bad.

There does not seem to be a tool box in the boot...

You can't post photos on here until you have made a certain number of posts (10 I think)

Re: No wheel nut key please help!
That link is no good Sonia as it is too generic. I think Col was trying to ascertain the exact pattern of the locking wheel nut to see if he had the corresponding key.
When my daughter had a similar problem with her 207 wheel nuts I removed them by hammering on an undersize socket to remove them. It took me several hours and ruined a few sockets. I replaced the locking wheel bolts with ordinary hexagon wheel bolts for the car.

If it's urgent, go with the tyre fitters offer .. but get four extra normal wheel bolts as the locking ones will be fit for the bin

Re: No wheel nut key please help!
Ok, thanks for all the help every one. Now I am thinking of splashing out on another 2 Goodyear eagles as the 2 new ones I have here waiting to be fitted look so much better than the 2on the back. I also think that having 4 new ones all fitted at the same time is better otherwise it will be the same thing when the back ones need doing. Thanks again everyone this site is great

Actually if you are only fitting 2 new tyres, the new tyres should go on the rear ... so they should come off too.
