........... because you can't order a spare. The only way to get another wrench/key is to order a kit which contains a new set of 4 bolts. You then have to get the original bolts cut off. http://tinyurl.com/bk9uqjx
The kit currently costs £63.10!Yellowbelly said:........... because you can't order a spare. The only way to get another wrench/key is to order a kit which contains a new set of 4 bolts. You then have to get the original bolts cut off. http://tinyurl.com/bk9uqjx
Has anyone tried to get a spare yet?........... because you can't order a spare. The only way to get another wrench/key is to order a kit which contains a new set of 4 bolts. You then have to get the original bolts cut off.
If your dealer has a "one will fit" set of keys with only 20 different patterns, so do the guys that you are trying to keep away with that locking wheel nut. May as well just get rid of them, they don't really keep the thieves away anyway.Had to get a locking wheel nut key for my wife's mini a while back. Took it to a BMW/Mini Dealer where they had a nice wooden case with about 20 different keys, once matched they sold me one as they had in stock. Said they sold lots as the metal used in the BMW/Mini keys are soft and easily gets mangled when a mechanic uses a gun instead of a wrench as was the case on my wife's.
Not difficult Volvo.
Yep I agree. As the Mini was bought second hand and needed new tyres it was easier to go down that route. I was led to believe that the 20 odd key combination was common to both BMW and Mini :surprise:If your dealer has a "one will fit" set of keys with only 20 different patterns, so do the guys that you are trying to keep away with that locking wheel nut.
