Hi. All
After replacing my rear dampers,and feeling elated that I had completed this I decided to take the rr out for a spin.when I got back I realised in my excitement I had left the locking nut socket in the wheel, so this is now gone. I cannot find any info in my paper work of a socket number so I can. Get a replacement and I have no idea how to get them off can anyone please help.

Contact JLR with the VIN number ?
Unusual not to find a reference to the socket code amongst the car's paperwork, I've had quite old vehicles that still had that info.

Thanks Norseman the genuine alloy wheel bolts I have, these have been added later I assume as they where on it when I bought it,they are stormer 20 inch and the nuts are different to the originals?

If its still the original locking nut there should be a number stamped on the front face of the locknut, think its 3 numbers and that identifies the correct one. Other than that most tyre fitters will get them off easy enough.
