I seem to have lost the socket for my locking wheel nuts. The last time it was probably used was by the dealer when the EPB failed about 6 months ago.
Need some advice.
Cheers

As a tyre fitter the best thing is go to dealer and get him to remove your nuts and throw them over the wall and fit standard nuts

have you checked all the usual places
1) glove box
2) cubby boxes in boot
3) in with the jack - Right hand side panel in boot.
I know of someone who had a puncture on Salisbury plain and "lost" their key.. They waited 2 hours for LRA to arrive who then found it in the rear cubby box   Duncan

Thanks for all the advice & offers.
Turned the car upside down trying to find it but its not there. Spoke to dealer who acknowledges wheels were removed in May for EPB so as far as Im concerned they didnt put the socket back in the car.
Dealer has a variety of sockets so will try and match with my nuts!, will pop in tomorrow.
Brilliant site & thanks again.

Get them all off and fit standard bolts I've had a lot of trouble with one same as countless people on the site.They are the worst posible bolts you can have

Popped into Stratstones Solihull this morning. They quickly got their set of sockets out and eventually identified mine and gave me the socket. All sorted in 5 mins, really good customer service.
Worth making a note of the code.

Sounds like you have not thrown the locking nuts away - yet. You will one day, just you may be very upset, and poorer, at the time.
(By the way, if your local dealer does not have a full set of locking nut removing adaptors, your local wheel thief does) A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
