Long story but had tyres replaced and trye fitters have misplaced the locking wheel nut key.

If you can remember what type it was,there should have been a letter stamped on it,you can contact site member TLO (The Large One) and get a replacement key.

Nut removal is by design NOT EASY, I have done it, but unless the nuts themselves are no longer servicable, i would get a replacement Key.

Most LR dealers have a full set in the workshop, just try them to find the one you need and get a spare from the parts man Thumbs Up

Since OP lists Egham as location, probably best try Guava in Guildford if local dealer (?Hunters) has already disappointed.
Personally, after borrowing the right key, I'd instead spend £20 on four standard nuts and put the lockers in the round filing cabinet...

Your D3 weighs nearly 3 tonnes, no one is going to nick the wheels (except the spare, obviously!)
