Hi,i have thrown my alloy wheel lock nuts and key set in the bin (like a dumbass)as i thought a mechanic had left them in my boot by mistake.It was'nt an issue till i got a flat tyre last week.Im having a nightmare trying to find a lock key that will fit.If you have one i would like to buy it off you.Heres a pic of the bolt it must fit.cheers :-)[URL= http://i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q674/dannymite1981/IMAG0137_zps3463bf36.jp g" target="_blank">http://i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q674/dannymite1981/IMAG0137_zps3463bf36.jp g"/> [/IMG][/URL]

I'm sure they're all slightly different, otherwise anyone with a Megane could nick your alloys 🙂

They are all different, you can get a special tool to get them off though.

Go to a renault dealer with your log book.
Maybe they can help.
Otherwise gas axe and new wheel.

When my 'key' stripped, a local garage whipped off the locknuts for £20. Bought a new set at an autoshop for about the same.

I had a right game when my key socket failed. Most of them came off by hammering a socket over the whole nut, one really stubborn one had to go to a bloke with a special (expensive) socket. I bought the removers with an internal left handed thread but they didn't help. Good luck.
