XF Locking wheel nut removal without the key.

[SlimRick]

Any suggestions?

I changed a wheel yesterday due to a puncture, and I think I must have driven off with the locking nut socket still on the wheel. Needless to say, it's not still on the wheel and it's not in the carpark I used.
I don't know the letter code, and Jaguar dealer wants one hour labour (£160) plus parts to get them off and replace them.

Thats nonsense, Jag dealers should have master keys to assist you. I just threw my Jag locking nuts in the bin as they're terrible quality and replaced with Adamesh locking nuts. My locking nuts were L. The locking wheel nut key will have a letter assigned to it, Jaguar should be able to find a key for you. Which dealer was that and where you based? I might know someone who can help you out.

I think the one hour labour charge is to get it in the workshop and use their master key.

I found a chap in Reading who guaranteed removal for £50 so I've just come back from a successful trip over there. People like that put dealerships to shame!

Try this find a multi faced socket and hit on with hammer and remove worked foe me ,sounds a bit brutal but does work.
