Default Lug Nuts

I have been searching with no luck, I am looking for the tool kit for my Disco which has the jack handle and the lug nut spanner, nowhere to be found, missing in action. Without going to the stealer does anyone know where I can purchase this kit?

Save your self some money and do it better.
Go to sears, buy a 1 1/16 6 point socket and either an 18 or 24" breaker bar. Make sure you never let a tire store use anything but your socket or you will be buying alot os $22 lug nuts.

BINGO - the other night the Disco had a back tire going flat, my wife finds every piece of debris in the road and then manages to carefully run over it in such a way that it enters the tires, two tires with screws in them leaking down. It was almost 6:00 pm and all the tire joints in town were closing so I did the unmentionable - I went to Walmart! Well 2.5 hours later they fixed the two tires but not before breaking two of the lug caps, I was lucky to get out of there with only that damage. I'm going to buy a socket today, already have a big 1/2 breaker bar.https://landroverforums.com/micons/m9.gif

Take it back and have them replace all of your lugs. Pulling the cover off is only part of the damage. All of mine rattle around because a tire shop screwed them up (before I got it). It is really annoying offroad...

You will never get your tires off the trk yourself now that somebody used a impact wrench, the lug nuts "stretch" and your socket will not fit on them.
