SteveB Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 If they are the ford original locking wheel nuts, you should be able to get a new key nut from fords - provided you have the key card in your handbook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eetaylog Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 If they are the ford original locking wheel nuts, you should be able to get a new key nut from fords - provided you have the key card in your handbook you could do that but its pretty expensive. the cheaper way to do it is to buy a set of these from halfords http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...96823_langId_-1 http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/17488.jpg i had the same problem when my old key snapped, and these babies worked a treat. only problem is that theyll detroy your old locking nuts so youll need to buy another set, which will cost you around the £30 mark.

I was going to suggest a set of those as well, but thought by the time you'd bought those plus a new set of wheel nuts a new key nut from fords would be cheaper - mind you - I don't know how much fords would rob you for a nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marney Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Most Ford dealerships have a master set. There is only about 30 different types of locking key for Ford locking nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
