Ive got one on the drive that got a wheel nut thats to tight and its furbard the key  

  How do you plan to get the wheel off then?

I can't afford the cost of a new set of alloys and tyres on top of mechanics time to grind the alloys off.  

Try tightening the other nuts on the wheel up real tight - then try to undo the locking one.  Had to use a big hammer on one of mine but it shifted ok.  Put copperslip on bolt chamfers - no probs since, easy to undo.

Hope this helps

If the locking bolts are like the original fit from Vauxhall ie they have 3 holes in a triangular(ish) pattern, then the spinning collar is only thin & can easily be cut off using a slim chisel. Been there done that! The new locking bolts from Vauxhall are different and are the 'cake cutter' type now.

Ooops!  
It could be worse ... you could be on the hard shoulder, in the piddling rain at night with a puncture trying to remove the wheel!
