and also there are tyre places round me who remove wheel nuts at price of £10 a wheel!!
They are having a laugh.
Are they standard peugeot ones? Not know anyone who can lend you there locking nut key?

Good luck with that they are anti theft and they thought of that... Mine had to be drilled out 6hours and 20 drill bit later fitted Macguards!
#9: Re: LOST WHEEL NUT KEY HEEELP Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:50 am ---- Standard Peugeot locking bolts are soft as s**te & easily drilled of.
#10: Re: LOST WHEEL NUT KEY HEEELP Author: adamb, Location: MansfieldPosted: Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:53 am ---- it can be done on any locking nut, trust me
Ive done a few on peoples cars when a garage put there locking nuts on with air guns!!
Its just the case of picking the right size socket to put on
edit - however i have never tried it on a peugeot nut, so unless they are different to other locking nuts im not sure

they are very easy to round off
#14: Re: LOST WHEEL NUT KEY HEEELP Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Thu Jun 14, 2012 6:15 am ---- If they aren't anti theft ones you are lucky, a reverse bolt remover socket will get them out
If they are anti theft ones you aren't so lucky (they are s**t) they have a thin stem so snap under pressure unless you are using the key. I have had this twice on the first car I got them gas cut out (several drill bits later and after the main head was gone they couldn't drill any further). On the other one they were anti theft ones but they weren't torqued that much so was still able to get the socket on them without snapping the neck.
Try and turn them first, worst case is it doesn't make the situation worse
Peugeot only sell new sets and not any keys anymore though there was some guy on eBay selling all they keys (apprantely) on eBay for around £15 you just had to look at the diagrams and pick yours.
