PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi Guys,

It's been a while but I come in desperate need.

I need the key for my wheel locking nuts. It's a P reg 406 2.1 TD exec and peugeot don't sell the key anymore :(

The one I had has broke and is useless. It's the type of key that has four prongs on it that fit into four holes.

Without it I am screwed as no garage wants to drill them of with fear of damaging my wheels even though I don't care.

Can anyone help? I'll pay :) My email is snipped-for-privacy@clockworkjunkie.com

I'll be checking here though.

Fingers crossed....

Thanks guys

I feel for you!! I had a similar problem. I initially drilled out the four pins and replaced them with 3mm dia. silver steel(hardened & tempered). These worked OK initially, but no match for a garages air wrench. I suggest the best approach is to remove the security bolt with a female version of a stud extractor(most decent garages would have a set). Finally, throw away all security bolts & use standard wheel bolts regards Jason

No self-respecting garage should use any form of impact wrench with these security bolts, you should only ever use a torque wrench. However, I have seen advertised a universal adapter for these, though don't know how effective they might be. It's in the current Screwfix catalogue, Page 579. Emergency locking wheel nut remover. If you want to look it up online it's

Thanks guys. I'm really hoping I can get a replacement from somewhere as I'm not sure those will work. Would snap them up if they did.

There's a tool I can get but it costs a fortune. :(

I can't believe peugeot won't help me out. Complete Bas£&rds.

But they are all different, so mine will be no use.

Have you tried a breakers yard. Chances are they would have a box full of that sort of thing, This is a useful web site for getting second hand bits

it circulates your request, and this is a breaker specialising in Pugs, Citroens and Renaults (including by post) that I found very knowledgeable and helpful snipped-for-privacy@cit-ren.fsnet.co.uk (Cit-Ren Ltd, Howe Pitts, Norwich Road, Brooke, Norwich, NR15 1HJ). Remove NOSPAM from their email address, I put it in to protect them.

Hope this helps.

We have a box of them in our garage so I would assume most Peugeot garages will have the same. All you need is one with at least two pins in the right position and carefully loosen off your bolts. Then either get a new set of locking bolts or use ordinary bolts.
