I've lost my little bolt thingy that removes me lock-in wheel nut and need two of my tyres changed. Has anyone ever been as stupid as me??? And do you know what I can do????

Ive Done It Before Mate...I took It To My Local Garage And They Drilled Through The Nut And Broke it, I Dont Know If Theres A Better Way Of Doing It, But This Way It Means You'll Have To Buy A New Set Of Lockers..

Go to the stealer, there is only 26 different types of locking mechanism, they will try all the ones they have and order you a new one.
Been there done that but it was a garage that lost it for me.
Top tip, keep it in your spare wheel well and you'll never loose it

Hammer an imperial socket on thats slightly too big and it should undo. Most tyre places will do it if you ask nicely ;)

Thanks for the advice, guys! I just phoned Seat and they can try and match it for me in the local dealer, then order me a new key £16 + VAT. How much have I just been panicking.......!!!!!
