Locking wheel nut key, all the same?

[midge]

Do all the mk2 clios have the same locking wheel nut key?

 

[Fred@BTM]

nope

 

[midge]

the one on mine looks like a clover, and theres a key on ebay that looks like a clover, i was hoping they would be the same

 

[Hodgins]

they would be pretty much useless if they were, saying that ive seen someone else's key fit another set of nuts lol

 

[DrR]

Serious question?

 

[Setone]

when i brought my car it ddn't come with the correct size key. So what i did was buy one from ebay that looked the same. Then i used a carbide drill, to drill the centre part out of the locking wheel bolt. then the ebay brought key fitted. But have found out that the dealers have a master key or something but they will charge you to undo the bolts.

LOL!

Sure we had another one of these threads recently.

Renault, defeating the object of locking wheels nuts since, never.

 

[Alastair.]

really?

 

[midge]

You can laugh, but i have seen many keys fit the same nuts..

 

[Bluebeard]

Theres only about 10 nuts.

So theoretically, someone will have one that fits your car.

FLOL the first one a tried from another clio fitted.

Did you people believe renault would make a diffrent one for EVERY car sold ? how many clios are there? 100,000? 100,000,000 ?
LOL.

Thanks Daniel.

I doubt it, there's only so many combinations possible

Is the key number not in the service book or owners manual?
