Have a slight problem being the guy I bought my 182 off said the key for the locking wheel nuts was with the jacking kit and I know I should of checked but didn't and now need my wheels off and can't as don't have the key any ideas how I can get it off??? I've tried contacting the ex owner and got no ware really stuck here any help appreciated people

Smash a socket it over it? That's what I did on my last car, but if it's Renault original locking nut with the rings around the outside you'll have trouble doing that!
A few company's offer removal service?

Can't do that as it has the rotating ring on the outside was first thought but don't really want too damage my wheels either.. Do you think if I took the car too renault I could buy a new key for them if it's the standard Renault ones?

If its the genuine Renault one you can get them from them for around £18 I think.

As far as I'm led too believe it is I'm going into Renault tomorrow and see what they say

Have you got the v5 in your name yet? Some places can be a bit funny about selling security equipment without proof it's your car.

I got the same problem. Mine are speedline wheels though so doesn't look like the original wheel nuts. Get a spare set, buy the laser removal took from Halfords and take it to a tyre place, mine is free because I know the guy but been quoted 12 pound a wheel
