Can anyone help me out?
I have locking wheel nuts on my S1 but no key to get them off.
Failed MOT on CV boot split and wheel bearing
They are a cog like design with 8 points
Anyone know where i can get an adaptor fot them?

Thanks in advance

best bet is to smash an inpact 16/17/18 or 19m socket over them and then you should be able to undo them

I managed to get 3 of 4 of mine off my cossie with the wrong key. The last one I had to hammer a 16mm socket over the end to get it off.

Be warned they're a bastard to get the sockets off once u get them out. So might be best of buying 4 cheap 16mm sockets to destroy.
