Removing Tyres..
« on: 22 February 2010, 00:06:27 »
Is there anyway of getting a new alloy key, tried vaux and they said £30+Vat for a new set of bolts and key as dont just sell the key. Managed to get it undone with some screw drivers but less than ideal. Cheers steve!

is this the plate with 3 pin security bolt, or tamper proof wheel bolt?  If the latter, personally I wouldn't bother - just get another regular bolt.

Its a 3 pin bolt pretty much looks like the same ones as had on other omegas although my old mrs key doesnt fit it that well for some reason
