Wheel Locking Nut

[ohtobea12]

Hi,

Got my new 206 cc in August and now have a problem fixing a flat tyre.

Basically the car never came with the wheel locking nut and it would seem that unless I have the security number, its not possible to order a new one!

My local Peugeot dealers are not being very helpful - does anyone know who might hold a central record of these numbers?

hia
theres no central record for the locking wheel nut,they are random put at factory.
only way is to forcably remove the old and replace with new

There are companies and a lot of tyre garages who would probably be able to get these off. Iknow someone in work who bought a Rover, loast the locking wheel nut key and took it to a tyre garage and they took it off for nothing. She said she played the dumb girl game.(You say that to a girl and it's sexist, fine when they want it though)

Thanks alot,

To get 2 replies so quickly is great. I did try quick-fit and they were not able to help. However, I shall now try an actual tyre garage (fingers crossed).

Amazing - I really think this stuff should be recorded centrally and am really narked that peugeot just were not keen on helping.

if you or someone you know is in the AA they have a special tool for taking off locking nuts, should be able to sort you out

if no luck with then goto www.350z-uk.com and search for locking nuts or similar, also search for username chesterfield as he got the nuts removed for only £20 but can't remember where from

Thanks very much. I have now got the problem fixed at a personal cost of £60, the dealer agreed to go halves on the cost.

Not a bad result, at least the dealers are propably more likely to get them off with no damage at all to the wheels. Glad it's all ok now.
