Locking wheel nut key

I need to change a tyre... Cant find the locking wheel nut key / bolt. Where do they usual live? If i cant find it how do I get a new one that I know will fit?
Cheers

look on each wheel nut and look for a code - then call yo stealer.

Answers in RED. Failing that you there are various ways of removing em depending on the type of locking nuts that they are

On the P38, the key lives in a little plastic wallet in the spare wheel well
No idea on the L322 but worth a look.

Cant find it anywhere... Grrr

Its the star type nut look like a new one will try ebay first

There's probably 10 different star type ones ! Lol

Yeah I guessed that so how do you know which one you need?

As above earlier post, there should be a number or letter on the nut
You can then order the correct security bit.

Yep that sounds right
I have had a quick search and cannot find the number 22 one.

I'm sure your local land rover dealer would be able to get you one in however
For about £50 probably lol

in the jack set there is a black plasic tube that is used for taking the outer cap off the locking wheel nut it has not been slid in here has it . i had a tyre changed couldn't find mine at first.if not glove box cubby or rolling about on carpet or under spare wheel.if not that code at the dealer . when i lost one when i had a defender ,get this it was cheaper to buy a new set from landrover mail order shop,than it was for the tool at land rover stealer.

Hah true !

These tratter boys ah ? Lol

Ratty who drives a tratty ! Lol

there is a trinket box in the lift up panel on the lefthand side of boot floor, it might be hidden in there.

Ok so I have had a look around the internet and found the Audi also use the spline style locking nuts and keys. I took a photo of the bolt

I counted 20 splines which is ABC 8 pattern.

Are these exclusive to Audi or did Range Rover also use them? Anyone else got this style of nut?

Beemers ues internal splined lockers and I think some Audi's and VW's do too.

I didn't say we is.

I merely meant that as it is a small item that is actually rather portable it could easily be moved from say the glovebox to the boot or a centre console etc.

Bought a key from ebay. ABC8 VW/Audi ... too big ... grrrr

Looks like a trip to the stealers unless anyone else has any suggestions?
