Best place for a replacement Evora locking wheel nut key?


Recommended Posts

I've suspected for a while that my washer bottle is leaking so I chucked in a few litres and yes, it definitely is leaking.... all over the garage floor.

Whipped out the locking wheel nut key to remove the front wheel and see if I can change/fix it myself (or at least figure out what needs to be replaced by a service centre) ... and the locking wheel nut key split at the first hint of pressure. 😥

The car was recently serviced so was presumably torqued up quite hard (or the key is 10 years old, so at the end of its life). Anyway, what was supposed to be a 10min job now involves stuck wheels and a chipped finish on my alloys. 😠

I picked up a replacement key (matching the shape and letter) from eBay from a Renault but it doesn't fit my wheels - it is a 19mm key and the outer diameter is too wide.

Before I hassle a dealer / service centre (which is an hour away), is there any recommended places for a cheap key? It is code R if anyone happens to have one languishing in a box!
