Will have a look & see what keys I have. Haven't seen them for 3 years or so, will look in the usual places.
PS Good job I'm organised, found them. Got a D and a G to try.

Having invested in spare wheel protection plate from RLD, it seems like false economy to go without locking wheel nuts. Therefore, just ordered replacement set from Nick (TLO) for under £40 including postage. Perhaps I will offer the old set with burred but still usable key on fleabay 2005, TDV6 S, Auto, 190k miles, owned from new, V8 Brake Upgrade, Nancom Evo, RLD protector, BAS EGR blanking & Remap, separate ATF cooler, changing all the fluids ahead of time.

No false economy by not having locking wheels nuts in my view. Anyone who has come prepared to lift a 2.5T D3 with air suspension will have thought about the locking wheel nut. The locks will not deter a thief that has come equipped, the D3 itself will deter a casual thief and a failed lock will defeat thieves and owners alike!
Spare wheel protector is another matter; indeed, it is essential.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

I have loved all 5 of my disco,s but this last one has lots of things that I feel have been cheapened, like the locking wheel nuts. I just removed all mine when they were getting doggy and put on normal nuts.

I just had one of my nuts fail, the top split in two!
In the end took a couple of mins to get off with a lump hammer & coal chisel.
