Missing locking wheel nut from new car
Options

Some people find the easiest solution is to just change the car before first service is due or the tyres have the mileage covered to wear. That only leaves the possibility of a puncture as time when the wheel nut key is required, so it becomes a very rare event.0

Perhaps they need to have removed the existing nuts and that will cost money. Please see my earlier post where I suggested the OP seeks a cost price set of new bolts.
HTH
Perhaps you could direct me to to the OP car marque dealer where they can provide a wheel lock nt key without the orginal being present or the box as IMO that is not possible. I am aware of car keys via serial number but never wheel locks.
Uusally, lock is drilled off and new set of locks/nuts fitted.
Many thanks

Thanks for complimenting our cars.
FYI, and IMHO, "high end cars" are Rollers, Ferrari, Bentley and Bugatti as it's all about ones perception
of "high end cars.".

When a Rolls-Royce is owned by someone who calls it a "Roller", it is no longer "high end". It is akin to Arthur Daley's Jaguar.

For sure one does not need personal experience to have the knowledge.
Not everyone has "experience" of everything but have sufficient knowledge to comments on things.
I've never played rugby, my OH does and I have good knowledge of that but possibly not as much
as my OH but I am entitled to comment.

That's why what you posted below is totally incorrect:How can you possibly state what usually happens if you don't actually have any experience of it happening?sweetsand said:Hi
