   Basically im a tard, done my wheels up, left the locking wheel nut key on the wheel and drove off.
   
   So i now have no locking wheel nut key, they are the bolts that came with the car im guessing. Any ideas where i could get one cheap or have i got to go to Citroen?

   You can buy a replacement key from Citroen iirc but they are more expensive that buying a full set of locking nuts again.

   Someties you can just bang a socket onto the locker and get them off that way....obviously its got to be a tight fit.
   
   If that doesnt work buy something like this....

   Any car spares shop like Helfrauds or motorworld eurocarparts gsf etc will sell you a tool for removing the locking wheel nuts.

    Hi, i know this thread is dead, but it's exactly what has happened to me. How did you get it off in the end? Please tell me as soon as you can because my tire is bald!
    
    Thanks.

    I got a mate to weld a nut to the wheel bolt, then got it off that way.
