mafya Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 If they are ford factory fitted ones any ford dealers should have a master set that they will use and be able to order you a locking key... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should also apply to other dealers as well however only if they are factory fitted. A lot of people get the cheaper ones from ebay etc and if you don't have the master nut then it will be costly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky B Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 £50 is cheap. I took mine to that engineering shop next door to Asda at Middlewood. No damage but it cost more than £50. I would consider putting ordinary nuts back in. Garages tend to tighten with air guns and then when you get a puncture you can't them these locking wheel nuts off. Damn annoying as it ends up as a tow in. Sheffield Engine Services. I had mine done there, £20 per wheel plus VAT. Absolute bargain to get the wretched things off! I had the mother of all punctures and the locking nut ring was chewed from where the tyre place had cranked it up with the air gun... Drilling out the locking nuts was the only way the wheel was coming off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is garaged overnight and in a Q car park during the day. Only other place it goes is Sainsbury's so those locking nuts are history. When you have a puncture those chewed up locking nuts can send you nuts trying to get them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to call the breakdown service out for a puncture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
