Locking wheel nut replacement
Hello all,
I am looking to get a new locking wheel nuts for my Jag Luxury XF 2013 and I am really confused about where to order them!
Are there size differences I need to be aware of so that I don't get something that won't fit properly?
Is there any direct link I can purchase from please?

What's with the locking wheel nuts. I've been on this forum for many years and hardly seen them mentioned. Now this is probably the 5th in the last month
To the OP - think the sentiment here is why bother. Does anyone really jack up cars and steal wheels any more - like in the 80s? So most of us avoid the locking wheel nuts as you inevitably can't find the key or it's stuck when you need to take it off in an emergency...
But - I'm sure the dealers still sell them (at a price). Have you tried eBay?

My suggestion is to purchase locking nuts, if that's what you really want, from McGard, and a set of good quality lug nuts, from Gorilla Automotive. The Gorilla lugs are "solid" as opposed to the OE nuts which are soft nuts with a thin, decorative, covering.
Thank you guys for all of your help.
I have taken the car to the main dealership and they took than all off.
I knew the key needs to be size L
Do you suggest to put normal nut instead or buy a new key and put them on again?

Autoreservejaguar.com have the keys listed, they are in the UK. To be honest I just used normal nuts as nobody really steals wheels anymore!
