So, just went to take off a wheel to get a puncture fixed and there’s no sign of the ‘key’ for the locking wheel nuts 🤦‍♂️
Bit of searching on here and it looks like I should have a grey box with the key and 4 normal wheel nuts??
Checked under the boot liner and in the glove box. Can’t really see where else it could be.
Anyone got any smart ideas??
Tried to phone supplying dealer and got a ridiculous runaround between departments with no actual response 🫠
Kinda stuck (GRrrrrr…)

That is bad luck. Can confirm small grey box like the below.

As we bought from TGB, maybe contact them.

Good luck!

I think usually, locking wheel nuts aren't completely unique and there's only a certain number of different patterns, so they should be able to source you a replacement key.
 
@jb1750 you should have been provided with a box containing the 4 removed standard nuts, the locking wheel nut key and a personal key code card.
Chase the dealer! Here’s the part number for the kit if that helps?

Take a couple of very clear pics of a locking wheel nut showing the pattern and take along to the dealer when you go to complain about the missing kit. When I chewed up the key for my old 56 plate Yaris last year, it took 3 weeks for a new one to come from Germany, (despite me having a note of the key code).

Also, some tyre specialists keep a range of keys and will be able to get the wheel off and mend the puncture as well as giving you a code. This means using the emergency foam of course to get there (you may have already used it to get home), but it does wash out easily. Best of luck.

As part of the handover checklist when you picked up the car there's an item on having the locking wheel nut tool. I specifically remember this because mine didn't have one, then they came back with the wrong one first time.

My dealer (to their credit) made a point of handing the little grey box to me in person during the collection process and stressing how important it was I did not lose it (bless em).
