willy locking wheel nuts

[scotte666]

does any1 know if reno fitted these as standard as i think i lost my key when i was changing my brake pads.ifnot any ideas how much its costs roughly to get them drilled out?

I had a similar problem with my Williams.

If the key had four "spikes" on it, then it would have been a Renault dealer set of locking nuts. I managed to get a new key by finding the old bill from my history folder - and amazingly Renault had a key for about £3.

mine had like 4 rounded bumps i think and an outer sleeve as well.pretty sure they must be reno as i dont see why any1 wouldve changed them.did u need to take 1 out to show them ?have they got a list then?

Key number should be on record if original.

Get in touch with J3ned.

mate if you can sacrifice a socket, are these the ones with the loose outer sleeve? if so get a socket that is a touch too small and hammer it on and remove the bas*ard things

 

[scotte666]

rajk does it go over the outer sleeve as well or do i need 2 rip that off?

Your original handbook should have the code for the wheelnut ket in it.

ben which book mate had a lok through all mine and cant see it where bouts it written?

Should be in the service history book inside the front page.

If not, try bashing on a slightly smaller socket (long one). Willy wheels are very difficult to remove wheelnuts by force without damaging the wheels because the wheelnut wells are so deep.

I never fit locking wheel nuts - every set have just been hassle.
