Hello chaps
Today I have taken my XF 2013 to the garage to replace some braking pads. Unfortunately, when I bought the car, I haven't checked if the wheel nut lock exists.
It seems now I don't have it ☹️
What should I do please?
The garage advised to call the main dealer!
Is there any other options to not take it to main dealer? As the car needs to pass the MOT first, then I can road tax it and drive it
Please help!!!

 

Get a 19mm hole-cutter, remove the centre drill bit, cut down & through the nut, you can then remove the wheel & the remains can be removed with grips!

Also replace the rest of the wheel nuts as they are of poor quality!

 

Thanks John.
I will try to get 20mm hole-cutter and see how it goes!
Any recommendations where to buy the nuts lock please?

 

Not with a jaguar, but i had great success removing lock nut with extractors similar to these

Guys, any recommendations where to get a new wheel lock nuts set for my XF please?

 

Didn't bother....does anybody still nick alloy wheels??

 

same, i don't bother, especially after first hand experience removing lock nuts with above mentioned nut extractors.

 

Hi John,

I couldn't cut a hole at all, even I tried to saw it for nearly 10 mins. Am I doing something wrong!
Please have a look and advice

 

That "locking" lugnut SHOULD be hardened steel, so there's NO WAY you should be able to do and damage to it, with that saw blade. My suggestion would be to get a hold of a 6 point socket that a BIT smaller than the OD of your lugnut, one that will fit by POUNDING it in place, then you should be able to remove it by spinning it off.

This brings up another question....do you need to remove 3 more locks? If so, could you post a picture of them, so we can see what you're working with?

 

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?

 

I wouldn't put another key on it. Just bolt it on with normal nuts.
