Ive not got one mate sorry. But to try and help I can tell you that it looks very very like a Halfords own brand key - just in case you didnt know where to get a replacement once this is sorted out.

Just get a replacement from Renault.

i had a set of those types on my car 3 of the 4 came off without a struggle, the forth one was a complete f*cker, after i got them off i was so releived i gave the key to my mate who had a similar problem to you, the key perished when he tried to get his off, sorry! I know where your coming from!

doesnt look like a gen renault key and if it is its very old so you cant order replacements.

 

[JAY172]

have you tried a set of locking wheel nut removing sockets.quite cheap but youll have to buy some new locking wheel nuts after.

 

[Jones]

that is a halfords one where do u live mate?

chelmsford essex, cheers for all the comments/suggestions

what about one of those tools - cant remember what they are called. but have lots of pins at the end, which push up and form a shape. therefore gripping a nut or something.

looks an easy one to get off but you can get a replacement if you have the code. looks like you need a tool with a + shaped end, perhaps on a drill or wrench.

Will check code on mine. Must be a Renault item as mine is the same. Lost it once and my dad fabricated a new one but with only 3 of teh 4 prongs, this may work better. Photo taken before it broke as it look ok?

 

[Andy_16v]

yea, thats what it was before it broke

 

[Matty]

Mine has 8A3 on it so guess it wont fit. The three pronged fabricated one might though.
