I had to change my wheel sat as got a puncture but when changing it the nut basically snapped in half..leaving half in the hub and half in the locking nut. So got AA out and after about an hour and half he got it out and changed it.
But he also tried to get it out with the key and snapped the inside of the locking nut so it is proper useless now. But still have 3 of the same locking nuts in the car.....so would Ford have a master set or something and how much for another set??
btw the cars a 2004 mondeo
Cheers

go to ford and see if it was a dealer fit set of lock nuts
they might have the keynumber
alternativly you can find teh supplier and take the remenants to them and ask for another key to be produced for you
unless you have the key number in the documentation or the key number is stamped onto the key somewhere ilke most ford keys have

they couldnt do it for me when i lost my locking nut for my focus. advised theyd not heard of such master key or sets...
Went to halfords got a nut removal set (2nuts reverse threaded) took me 5mins to remove all 4...... then i found the proper locking nut
used them again as they didnt even chew them up!!

sort of true, some times they cant remove them and have to weld a nut on the end to take em off,,,,, though its VERY VERY rare
min labour charge at fords is 1 hour for 4 wheel nuts,, thats 105 quid plus vat at my old place
and DOO works at ford,,,, not doji
