look on the nuts, there should be a letter or number stamped on one of them - that will tell landrover what type you require.

You'll also find them on fleabay but, as above, you'll need to know the letter stamped on the nuts.
My motor came from fleabay
and it had locking wheels nuts that obvoiusly someone had lsot the key and had welded nuts on the top of them
means you can get a socket on them and undo them and replace them with ordinary nuts
cos unless they are very fancy 22" rims they aint worth nicking
also you would need a big jack and alot of bricks.
oh yeah and a big vehicle to have them away in
sets of 5 with tyres on 16" rims only make 100 -180 quid on fleabay
maybe that is just me

Never let anyone airgun your nuts
Seriously the socket for the locking nuts isn't up to it and splits!

That type of locknut are easily overcome lawfully or otherwise. A tenner buys you a locknut removal tool which is just a reverse spiral socket. Get hold of one of them, get these nuts off and if you want get another new set do so otherwise a trip to the breakers for 4 spare nuts will set you back maybe £2 or £3 each.

Cheers for that... am I right that although the nuts are 27mm the reverse spiral tool for the lock nuts is 26mm? I can't seem to find anything bigger...

Or a carefully positioned narrow cold chisel and tap it anti clockwise. What is the diameter of the round section of that nut?
