If its lost its lost. Smash them off and buy new. I can get them for £14 at my local car shop

Without the tool they are impossible to get off. Only options you have is to extract them out. Or you can hammer a ratchet attatchment (sorry can't think of name) which is slightly larger onto them and remove them that way. Don't bother putting them back on as if you have a blow out...your stuck!
Also forget citroen:

Far far superior. I know of a guy that is currently trying to remove one, due to him loosing the codes. He's been trying on and off for the last week!

DONT hammer a socket over it because if its not an high strenth impact socket it will split and you will be back to square one. Best thing to do is to go to your local car parts shop (unipart or dingbro etc) and ask them for an extracting tool, they should have these in stock and all you do is hammer the tool on and then remove as normal with a good ratchet or crack bar, then buy the new locking wheel nuts, any car acessories shop will be able to sell you them, and your good to go. Used to work in kwikfit and had this problem all the time.
