You'll probably have to go to a dealer - there are many combinations. To borrow one you will need the ident number - similar to photo - and then try and find someone with the same. The nut will also have the ident on but IIRC you can't see it when it's in the wheel - too wet for me to go out and check now.
great thanks.
Cost me £90 to have mine removed on TOO! But I had to get all four wheels off for decontamination to proceed. Hammered on a special socket and spun them right off. You may find someone cheaper to remove one so you have the #to take to a dealer though as Jonco said! JIM
Yes ive found it !
well that was lucky, recently i drove off with the key still attached to the nut in my mrs car, omg what a hassle trying to sort it (peugeot dont code them), there more hassle than there worth, so just on the off chance i went to the local breakers and he had one massive bucket full of wheel keys, found the one i needed - £5 bargain
You can buy kits to undo locking wheel nuts.
I've just swapped out all my lockers to standard bolts.
Lockers are more trouble than they are worth

Most people who's cars we remove them from at work don't want to replace them with after market lockers. When was the last time someone you know had their wheel(s) nicked ?

Very true.
For anyone with a z3m i have a set of tyres i think they are matador with at least 6mm tread left front 225 45 17 rear 245 40 17. Free to good home (collection only ). Not the best tyres in the world but okay.
When I put the spacers on my Z3 they came with a set of longer bolts so the lockers were redundant anyway. The car is never left anywhere unobserved as are most of our cars?

Last set of wheels I lost was 1976 and they left the van blocked up so I could put new wheels and tires on. Even put the lug nuts back on! True gentleman thieves!! JIM
