Clio cup alloys

Do these have locking wheel nuts on? If so, then where would I find the key?

 

[Iain C]

i would have thought so...you should have been given the key by reno.

 

[Nikki101]

Just brought the car second hand and I cant find the key anywhere.

Didnt know if there was a special secret hole that I have found yet!

 

[geordieclio]

no secret holw you should have been given it by prev owner speak to them, if not you will have to get them drilled out cost approx £35 but youll need locking wheel nuts to replace them

If the standard wheels on the car, then im sure renault would be able to remove them for you. Maybe get 4 standard bolts for now. Fit another set of locking nuts from motorworld, halfords etc fot £30.

They must be able to take them off, for when i dont take the unlocking key to the dealer..

they cannot take them off without the key without drilling them off with the risk of damage to your wheel

^wish my wheels were that clean, and un-curbed. The locking nut in that pic is identical to mine that I got with my cup wheels.

This was where mine was, under the carpet in the boot with the wheel. I didnt look at them first off and thoght they were a spare bulb set.

I wasnt sure because I was taking my boyfriends word for it!! I have just been and checked and there is definitely one bolt different from the others.

It is not in the boot with the other tools I have checked there.

 

[182_blue]

ahh ok, well unless its hidden in the car then you might have to try renault (unless the previous owner knows were it is)

try looking under the cigarette tray, or looking in between the two tins of tyre foam

 

[182_blue]

sorry forgot this, here is a picture of the locking nut box

looks the same yes almost identical but they are all differnt only one key for a set of locking wheel nuts, however Nikki101 find this label which is the code for your locking wheel nuts in your service book take it to your local dealer, they should give you a number for a company in Italy that makes the locking wheel nuts for reno who can supply you with a spare key if you do not want to get them drilled out

Found that code, thanks very much. Will see what renault comes up with.

Thanks for all your help guys. Just need to find out why my interior light and boot light dont work now!

 

[Dan_mk1]
