Default Lost Ford locking wheel nut key !

Think I have lost mine for my daily driver
Is it possible to get a replacement locking wheel nut key from Ford? Using my car details (reg).
Thanks

I would think that any Ford dealer should have a master set so should be able to take them off for you.

I work at a Mazda main dealer and they got a master locking wheel nut set so I imagine ford will have the same as most mazda stuff is shared with ford

Yes there are 15 different locking patterns.All colour coded.Ford won't tell you off the reg.
Book it in.Ive done a few smacking an impact socket over them..(cheapest way).

a replacement key for my 08 mondeo was £30 from Ford

it's now knackered again after the tyre shop used it to take of the nuts which were already worn. it slipped so much its screwed the key, so back to the drawing board.

dunno whether to buy a complete new set from ford, or go for a set of Mcgard nuts

Not sure of the colour, the code is different to all the ones on ebay, so could not be sure if the colour code has several matching number codes.
