I was going to replace the rear discs and pads today and realised I'd lost my locking nut key. I was looking everywhere for it, even in places where I know it wouldn't be there, like in the in my sock draw and in the fruit bowl! Blind panic will make you look in stupid places!!
Anyways, contacted Renault dealership and my heart was ready to sink for their quote to remove the lock nut, but to my supprise the lady on the service desk gave me a number and told me to contact this company that specialises in locking wheel bolt keys. So rather than the dealership get the key and charge me shed loads, I did what she advised.
You need the key number for this company to create a spare. This can be found in your service log book on a sticker with an FERxxxxx number. Total cost for a duplicate key, £12.39. The company is Evo Automotive based in Milton Keynes. You can order the key on their website

Who'd have thought that a Renault dealership could be so helpful and save me money!!
