    peugeot 307 locking wheel nut thing.

    I have just purchased a 2002 peugeot 307 hdi 90 rapier. There is no locking wheel nut thing for me to remove the wheels. Does any one know where i can get one and how much they would cost roughly.
    Many thanks.

    go buy a new set of locking nuts, and pop to any garage, they will get them off for a tenner in there dinner hour as they will have the removal kit.

    it does destroy them to get them off.

    I called in at a garage and asked them about the locking wheel nuts and they have said that unless i can get hold of the key it is going to make a mess of the alloys as they are so small. What else can i do, would the main peugeot dealership be able to get hold of one?

    The dealer should have provided it!? Tried arguing with them?

    Try asking a few other places to remove them too... I don't see why they would make a mess of the alloys.

    I purchased the car from a private sale and they did say they didnt have the locking wheel nut key, i didnt think it was going to be such a problem and thought i would be able to get hold of 1.

    If you have a similar sized socket, then grab a lump hammer and hammer it on

    Or just go to another garage, practically any garage will be able to get it out easily and quickly (try the smaller garages)
