Can you replace the locking wheel nut key?

When you say £89.00 for four standard wheel nuts my friend you are forgetting there r/r and like everything else on a p38 they seem to heap on a bit of premium some of the prices for original parts are a ripoff

No one is going to steal the wheels off a Defender, they just steal the whole truck. Replace them with standard nuts.

I've got the same problem. Genuine locking wheel nuts on my Defender. These are steel wheels, so the keys are the 4 pin type. It's claimed that the keys should be stamped with a number, indicating what replacement key I need. But I can't see anything stamped on the broken keys. Questions: where should the stamped number be (on one of the hex faces, on the shoulder, on the round part, or between the pins) as I can't see anything?

Also, any suggestions on a good supplier (possibly on ebay).

Thanks,
Rick

Mine don’t have a number on the “key” but there is an original sticker with the number on the first plastic page in the handbook; only any good if you have it though
