Locking wheel nut

Had a puncture last night on my 1,900 mile like new tyres - it was 7.30 pm so couldnt be bothered to wait for recovery and I had ordered a spare. I was pleased that I was able to change the tyre - the wheel nuts were not too tight and the jack worked - now I have two stupid questions

1. They say that the locking wheel nut should be carefully stored with the toolkit - but I dont think I have a toolkit so where do you keep yours (no facetious answers please)

2. On the piece of paper that has the code for the nut it says dont keep the code in the car - why not? If the nut is in the car they can nick the tyres anyway if they have access to the inside of the car?

1. In the locking wheel nut sized recess in the foam inserts in the back.

2. 'Cause you need the code on the paper when you lose the locking key out the boot (when the tyre place lose it for you) and if they lose the paper with the key you won't be easily able to re-order another.

RE: Locking wheel nut

Id be surprised if that bit of paper was the "key" to getting another easily if required.

All relative... having the code will make it a lot easier than not having the code, doesn't mean it will be easy Laughing

RE: Locking wheel nut

For JLR, seems all that is needed is the VIN. Hopefully there will be few who end up needing to re-order.
