missing locking nut key!

[ads172cup]

Just had a look at my wheels only to find a locking wheel nut on each.. i know the tricks with sockets and all that but these have a spinning washer on the outside. Are these standard issue on clio 172 cups, and how do get a new key... Any ideas please! thanks

Do you have the case that they came in? There will be a sticker in that with the number of key that you need.

if they're standard, renault can supply new ones, as above, think the code is on the case. if not, there may be a few dodgy garages who can get em off easy, if you can't get a tight socket whacked on they maybe ur AA guy? they have a tool, but he might not do em all lol! i spent hours drilling mine out and needed to refurb the wheels after

if you have the code, you can order a new set from Renault, might take a week or 2

I couldn't afford to wait, so I asked a tire fitting place to take the bolts off (breaking them in the process), and just got a new set of 4 locking nuts.

Mine took 2 weeks or so, come from Italy IIRC.

The locking nut code is also inside the original service history book if you have that.

Both my codes started FER followed by 5 numbers.

Thanks for the quick replies, i have some codes on inside of the front page of the maintenance manual, but this is for ign key number, etc. It doesnt mention locking wheel nut numbers. I dont have the casing for the wheel nuts though... might have to be a garage job.

You simply need the FER number on the inside of the book in the car.

The company is Farad, Italy
Email is info@proexportfarad.com
Tel 00390362354842
Cost Euros 29.50
You can pay by credit card not by cheque as it states on the fax.

It will come a damn sight faster than Renault could ever supply the key.

Rgds,
