Answers in RED. Failing that you there are various ways of removing em depending on the type of locking nuts that they are

On the P38, the key lives in a little plastic wallet in the spare wheel well:D
No idea on the L322 but worth a look.
 
As above earlier post, there should be a number or letter on the nut
You can then order the correct security bit.
 
in the jack set there is a black plasic tube that is used for taking the outer cap off the locking wheel nut it has not been slid in here has it . i had a tyre changed couldn't find mine at first.if not glove box cubby or rolling about on carpet or under spare wheel.if not that code at the dealer . when i lost one when i had a defender ,get this it was cheaper to buy a new set from landrover mail order shop,than it was for the tool at land rover stealer.
 
there is a trinket box in the lift up panel on the lefthand side of boot floor, it might be hidden in there.
 
Ok so I have had a look around the internet and found the Audi also use the spline style locking nuts and keys. I took a photo of the bolt

I counted 20 splines which is ABC 8 pattern.

Are these exclusive to Audi or did Range Rover also use them? Anyone else got this style of nut?

I didn't say we is.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::p

I merely meant that as it is a small item that is actually rather portable it could easily be moved from say the glovebox to the boot or a centre console etc.;):D:D:D
 
Bought a key from ebay. ABC8 VW/Audi ... too big ... grrrr

Looks like a trip to the stealers unless anyone else has any suggestions?
