Alloy wheel nut key

[Lindy66]

My friend has just bought a 2nd hand Fiesta (V reg) and the seller advised that they had lost the alloy wheel nuy key but said can get from any Ford Garage.
She has called a few Ford Garage and they advised they have to order the key can take 7 days but cheapest price quoted was GBP 27.
Does anyone know if you can only get the key from a Ford Dealer or are they other companies that sell them cheaper.
Thanks

i would imagine it would have to come from the ford factory as its a ford part. other option is to hammer a socket onto it and gun it off with an airgun thats how we used to get them off for folk who had chewed them or lost the key.

You could try one of these,

I've used one before to remove wheel nuts without a key but it will depend on the type of nut and how tight it is as these things aren't all that good.

I would go to your local dealer and get them to take then off five mins tops and simply buy a new set .
