As above, or can somebody recommend an aftermarket replacement set??

Might be easier to replace all 4 than find a replacement. The OEM key for the lock nuts isn't very strong. I shrewed mine a couple of months back when taking off the winter tyres. Got a set of McGards:

... or alternatively go to your local XPart dealer and ask for a set of locking wheel nuts for a Mk2. These will be McGards, and cheaper (last time I checked) than those on ebay.

There is a DIY to get the old ones off, not going to post it in open forum though.

Ahh, the days of puttin cars on blocks and stealing alloys are gone I reckon.

I replaced the locking wheel nuts a while back because the main removal tool shredded and now i think this one is on its way out. The genuine rover ones dont seem all that strong. I want to change them before i do end up having to get the locking nuts off by other means!
