I have a 59reg SMax with factory fitted locking wheel nuts, the key has been lost (or stolen at service?)
Ford want the number code to be able replace it, but all I can remember is the packet had "black" circle as the identifier, they have gone through stock and I have seen on Ebay red circle and grey triangle etc.
My hope now is does anyone own a Smax/Galaxy that has the Black circle identifier on their wheel key, and if so, could they reply/email me with the Ford part code, before I have to destroy them?
PS I have rang Ford technical and they don't have a list of colour codes to part numbers!

The code comes on a piece of paper, with the rest of your documentation, I have one, it's higly unlikely the number will be the same as the one you require, there are about 6-8 different locking wheel nut keys, if it's a McGuard one.
Best bet is taking it to Ford and getting them to remove it with their master set and replace them, think it was around £49-60 the last time I had to do this.0 -
Replace with non locking bolts save yourself a lot of hassle & expense.
Don't you think a theif, if he could be bothered with targetting your car, would not go out equipped with a nut unlocking tool and/or a full set of Ford keys which according to post above would be 8 keys :rotfl:0 -
With one key or 8 keys, I bet i can get the locking nuts off faster than you can unlock the car and rummage through the glovebox to find the key. Without damage...
Checked the glovebox, Sparewheel well, Ashtray and any other small pockets in the car?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0
