    I have just bought a car with alloys and no have just found we have no key to unlock, i know you can get them removed if you can see the nuts which I can't due to the built in hub cap...... now what?

    Your local motor factor should sell a tool which is easy to use to replace the wheel nuts
  • Gah.... I am in similar position having just sold a car with alloys and garage agreed to fit the old alloys on new car when they had space in workshop a few days later. We left the lock in the boot with spare wheel when we sold it, garage now says it's not there. Wondering what will happen to whoever buys our old car?!
