Default Lug nut locking for spare wheel... HELP !!!

Hi:

Have any difference between diferents codes printed on this ?... I bought this item (last year) with a "J" code but doesn't work...

Now I see many other in the Internet (USA or UK) but are codes "A" - "B" - "C", etc., ...

I have alloy wheels on R18.

Would you help me, please ?

Thanks!

OK !!! ... now, I don't have the lug nut locking. The official dealer is no idea of the exact detail for this spare part (believe it or not) and I'm looking for this one everywhere... last year I bought the "J" code (printed in the key) on Atlantic Br. but doesn't work, it sems like the bolt are a different size.
So... many people says to me this lug nut is the same for every models in every markets, but I not sure.
The part number is RRB 100510.

Regards,

Default locking nut

had the same problem, i had to go to main dealer, it appears there are 26 different nuts, they are not marked you have to try fitting them to your wheel nut till you find the right one. then order one. they may well have one in stock.

Or get out your electric drill and demolish the lock.

exactly if its a key drill it out, if it is one of those clover leaf incerts they sell a kit the allows you to build a key. Most large tire stores have them and you can purchase the kit on line.

He is in Chile guys, his resources may be limited.
But like those guys said go to a large tire store, they deal with this stuff all the time.

Old school way to get one of those stupid locks off is a quick tack weld of a nut on top of it and then take it off as a normal lug nut ;-)

Thank you Spike555 and maybe you´re right.

Even the official LR dealer had no idea what we´re talking about and when they aswer my questions about this situation they send to me the price of the item: US$350.- wow.... absolutely crazy !!!... in Atlantic British it costs US$52.-

Large tire stores only sells tires... and some guys knows something about cars and details...

Yes Spike555 you´re so close to the truth, my resources are limited...

Thanks !!! and I´ll expect more comments !!!
