Locking wheel nut key
So I have managed to loose my locking wheel nut key (it must have dropped out of the boot when I was getting my towing strap out to recover someone - do someone a favour and it ends up costing you!!)

My question is does anyone know where to find the code which will enable me to order a new one? My key didn’t come in a plastic pouch or anything it was just placed in the polystyrene cutout.

Tried calling the parts department of my supplying dealer but after 10mins of nobody answering the phone I gave up 😠

Any help would be appreciated!!

You will need to have your VIN to hand so that the dealers can order the correct one. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

I tried to buy a spare wheel nut key but the code on the one I had was not any help.

So the dealer got out his master set and found which one to order. It was not a problem but just took time finding the right one.

My Dealer isn’t being very helpful with this. I popped in the other day and they weren’t interested at all which is pretty standard for them. After 10mins of standing in front of three service department staff members who chose to flat out ignore me I walked out.

I’ll try another dealer who maybe will be more helpful. It seems that unless my local dealer can charge £190/hour for carrying out work they just aren’t interested.
