I Have been Changing the brake pads on my Freelander 1 (Facelift), just taking the front wheel off nd the security key nut broke (The 2 pins inside crumbled) Im now stuck with one side done, and the other not. Does anybody know where I can get a spare one from? I'm in Winchester Hampshire.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can get one off Ebay or a Dealer.
There is a number stamped on the top which has to match the one purchased.
A dab of mig weld on the damaged one may get you by if needed quicker.

as above,also i get them off with a tight fitting socket
which is a tiny bit smaller than the wheel nut.

if you are desperate you can get them off with those sockets that are made for locking wheel nuts when you have lost the "key" to them.
