Simply, from my JLR dealer.... You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

That was going to be my last resort, I assumed they would be a bit on the dear side!

Cheaper than replacing rims and tyres when they're nicked

The lockers are the same size as the standard alloy wheel nut , so why wont they fit ?
are you talking 16 inch wheels or 18 inch wheels ? as some 18 inch boost alloys have a thicker centre so need a longer nut |

Yep, 16" Boost Alloys.
These were the ones I was thinking of http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OE-Land-Rover-De...1e744e2f5f |

Those are not Original Equipment (OE) despite what the Ebay listing says, they have a completely different key pattern. I have to say that the ad does not radiate quality and I'd be more inclined to get genuine ones from my dealer. They are quite important, after all.

As above, I'd really go genuine cost or not.
No quality nuts and you ally's and tyres are worthless really as they are all that keeping them secure in more ways than one. |

Buy two of the 'key' sockets to get the wheels off. They're incredibly soft and tend to bend out of circular very easily leaving you with wheels you can't get off. So carry a spare socket, it'll cost you about £15 but cheaper than calling someone out at roadside.
