just found a key code card, the code space is empty but there is a reference number on it. Fingers crossed they can order it in from that

Why are you guessing what size socket to use...how do you know what style of nut he has?

haha, socket won't work... fecking peugeot and their well designed locking nuts. Garage said they'll break them off and put new ones on for €70, can't order in a key. Might give them another go at the week end with a chisel.

better buy a can or tire weld in the mean time Very Happy
