Post a pic of the lock. Do you have the lock code? The installing dealer may have stuck the code decal in your owner's manual.

 

These are the locks I have It shows the 4 lugs and the lock/socket to remove the lug. One per each wheel is used.
These are factory. I don't think there is a code for these like the mcgard style. The orange one is mine that I painted and label so the dealer
knows to return it. only marking on it is the letter "A"

 

Just a quick update on my original post regarding the lost key for the locking lugs. After the Jaguar dealer failed to find a solution for getting a new key or to even remove the locking lugs, I called McGARD. They were extremely helpful, asking for me to take a picture of the lugs, showing the pattern, and email it to them. I did and within a couple of hours they emailed back that the new key was in the mail. Total cost, including shipping; $14.99.

Today, after ONLY 2 days, I received the key and it works/fits perfectly. So, the solution was to go to the locking lug manufacturer, McGARD, directly and forget about the Jaguar dealer.

 

Random question, but did you check in the foam holder by the battery in the trunk for the key?

 

He's already told us "There is already a dedicated space for the key in the trunk of my F-type. Molded into the foam, right in front of the large battery. It was just EMPTY when I got the car."

 

But: Once the OP buys a new wheel lock, he is SURE to find the original one! Under a seat, or tucked in a crevice of the boot somewhere.

Murphy's Law.

That is how I eventually find the tools in my garage, that I only use once every 10 years.

 

But: Surely you'd only use the tools once, not every 10 years, because when you wanted to use it again, you've just bought a replacement for the tool you couldn't find!

 

That is usually how it works.

When I pass away, it's gonna be one heck of an estate sale.... Even with stuff that I use enough not to lose, often I have to buy extras of many things.

EXAMPLE: I have 3 or 4 OBDII scanners since my first, 20 years ago. Seems as if every newer car I obtain, I need a more sophisticated scanner.

Lets not talk about all the tools I've bought for different fasteners either. Slotted screws, then Philips, then Powerdrive, then square drive, JIS spec, then Torx, then the special sockets that fit the Tornado wheels. Yep: I need a hangar-sized storage unit nowadays!

Sorry for the rant.

 

If anyone is having problems with the following lockers:1. The two slotted design 1990s and early 2000s

2. The domed top four slotted type 2000 on

3. The 2020 on approx virtually circular design with a wavy circumference

Please get in touch as I have proven, successful solutions for most scenarios.

Hope this helps.

Mike.

 

Thanks so much for sorting me out, Mike
(I lost my dome-type locknut key, 2014 XF)

 

As an FYI, had a rear wheel stolen off my car at a VERY fancy restaurant and expensive area of town, luckily my date noticed it before I drove away. Was a VERY expensive night, as well as a long one.

 

The thing is, Dwight, I 'lost' my key after forgetting to remove it from the wheelnut! The XFs have a dedicated space for it in the boot, and that's where I always, always used to put it. But on that day it rained just as I was finishing up. I only realised two days later, when I noticed I hadn't put the spare away properly. I thought I was the only twit ever to have done that, but in my searches for a fix I discovered I'm very much not alone!
I don't have any locking nuts on now. My car is old and my alloys are all too scuffed to be valuable enough to warrant the effort involved in stealing them, I hope!
