Garage has lost the wheel nut keys kit for my Defender 90 2005 alloy wheels. It had 2 different keys, one for the wheels on car and one for the spare. I know the code letter for the wheels, but not for the spare. Can a LR dealer supply the complete kit from the VIN? I'm giving the garage a few more days to find it, before I name them.

If it has two different kinds, that suggests at least one is non standard. So the locking nuts and adapters may not be as they were when they left the factory. So you (or your friendly garage) may just have to use a locking wheelnut remover and get a new set.

A bloke at work has one of them Volvo 4x4 things
The locking wheel nut rounded off
After a lot of ****ing about him self he got a professional wheel nut remover guy in. He gave up so the alloy wheel was chopped off

Thanks, it is standard LR kit. The spare wheel key is much lower torque design and is like a squashed spline arrangement. Anyway the garage is going to pay for LR to replace it, just need to take it to a dealer and let them find the keys that fit.
