Hi all

Please could you help me, just bought my first X Type, a 2009 2.2 Estate Auto and I love it. Unfortunately I have not got the locking wheel nut key for it.

i took it to a Garage today which removed one of the nuts for me so I can replace a wheel bearing for the MOT.

Ive taken a picture, is it possible to identify the type of wheel nut key I need, which letter etc?

Many thanks in advance

 

If you look on the nut, there should be a letter, that will refer to the key that you need.

Have checked the nut but cannot see any letter

 

Thanks, I will

 

Take all the nuts off all four wheels & replace them with solid, one-piece items. Don't bother with locking wheel nuts unless you live in an area where wheels are actually still stolen.

Some good sets on EBay for not much money.

 

My 3 cents: Look for replacement lock-nuts (more likely online than in a shop). Make sure you order the correct nuts, as they come in various versions (and this that I mean: Length, nut or bolt, conical or flat, thread size and thread PITCH! I don't know without removing one of my nuts. You should be able to figure that out. At our local hardware shop they have a jig for testing, what thread size and pitch it is. But if I am not very much mistaken, and the "hits" I get for "wheel nuts Jaguar X-Type" on ebay are correct, then it is M12x1.5 (1.5 being the pitch). Check that on ebay and you see picture of the wheel nuts. If you enter "wheel lock nuts Jaguar X-Type" into ebay, you will find them as well. Those come with the matching lock nut key. Obviously, they are other places, but just ebay, where to find them.
And as for taking the old lock nuts off: This should be possible with an air-powered ratchet and a standard socket, which just fits over the locknuts. You may have to "hammer the socket onto the nut" - or you just go to your garage to do that.
