Hi Folks

I've got a fiesta mark 4 2002 (facelift), and I have seemed to have lost my wheel locking nut key.

Any ideas where I could buy a cheap new one? I presume I only need 1 nut key for all 4 wheels?

Thank You.

    Yeah you only need one if they are a set.

    What's the pattern on the nut?

    I'd ask Ford.

    But if you can't get one cheap enough buy a "laser tools" locking wheel nut remover socket from Halfords or motor factors to remove them.

    And afterwards, do the sensible thing, replace all your lockers with standard wheel bolts.

    Hi

    Thanks for your replies, so far.

    Gene Nut, what do you mean by the pattern of the key?

    Thanks

    If they are factory fitted the dealer will have the pattern, but it can take a while to obtain one.
    Each Lock has different positions, so its not just a case of another similar make fitting.

    If they are after market you would need the manufacture and the cut code to obtain them.


    Another option is to take the car to a decent tyre fitter who sometimes have the universal tools to remove them. Then buy a new set or use normal nuts/bolts.

    Or as Wig says buy the tool yourself. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/locking-wheel-nut-remover-2pc
