Locking Wheel Nuts

Hullo,

I read that on the 2.0 SE CC, one of the standard features is locking wheel nuts on the alloys. I was just wondering if this is right and also do you get the unlocking key to them. (so I can check that I get mine when I collect my baby on March 1st)

I don't know if there are official one from a Peugeot dealer but I got mine (with the Lion-Logo on top of them) from speeding.co.uk and they seem quite nice to me.

Mine came with locking wheel nuts and 2 "unlock" keys.

Incidentally does anyone have a clever place for hiding these in the car - they are too bulky to carry round and it is just too obvious to put them in the glovebox where a thief can just smash a window to get at them?

On my MX5 I used to hide them in the battery well under the carpet in the boot.

Mine came with two locking nuts (which are stiil in the little plaggy bag in the ashtray where I found them).

Seems a bit miserly just providing two, or have I missed something (again)?

I keep one "key " in my fire safe in the house - I keep all important documents etc in a huge fire safe!!!!! The other key is wrapped in a tissue to stop it rattling and kept in the ash tray! Typical woman thing I hear you cry!!!

Vince - r u sure that the things in the placcie bag are not the locking nut cover remover and keys????

no - its definately 2 keys. The cover remover is yellow and is just inside the boot clipped to the wheel brace.

Yeh but Vince thinks he just got 2 nuts in a bag ...... OOooops I've just re read that sentence - no pun intended - honest

I know this may bit a bit obvious but can I suggest that you write the serial number of the locking wheel nuts down somewhere safe.

May safe you a few/lot of pounds if you lose them.

Nikos,
the richbrook ones you got how much did they cost (total price)? Sorry but I can't figure out how they work. How do you perform side screw? Is allen key so thin?

TZAG, the anti-theft valve caps with Peugeot Logo costed 13 pounds BUT keep in mind that if you order from speeding there is a shipping cost of 15 pounds which is good up to 4 products. The key is a very small allen which is very easy in use. You just screw and the valve caps are locked. How safe that is I dont know but up to now the caps are not missing...yet

Doh! Of course they're the keys. I had proper look at them after my previous post and figured it out. Guess I'd better put one somewhere safe.

Willie is either quoting Lyndon in Big Bother or he has gone to new extremes of short posts!!

Someone shut Willie up.
He has far too much to say on the matter!
