If dealers canot get you the key number via the vin code, most garages will be able to reemove the locking whell nuts but you will need to replace them.

You have to find right size socket to hammer over plenty of vids on utube or AA carry kits most tyre places have removal kits as well .

Order a new alloy nut key at dealers.

You should have the locking nut code written down on the peugeot code card where your key code is also, or somewhere noted amongst the papers there in that small peugeot book.

Although they should also in theory be able to get that code and get you new locking nuts key.

Of course they know the key number, and can get it for you (charge you obviously) and then order you a new key.

New locking nuts - £15 ebay. Half hour with air chisel and point (or standard with hammer if you dont have air) and hey presto 4 bolts removed.

They even have the dimples on top to put the point in

Easy fix!

Make sure you have a power drill and a screwdriver that is bigger than the drill bit you want to use.

Just drill down the shaft of the locking bolt (straight, don't hit the thread) for about 5-10mm

Then hammer (yeah you need a hammer) the screwdriver into that hole so it's proper jammed.

Then use molegrips/pliers/wrench (Also required) to turn the screwdriver which will in turn take the rest of the bolt out.
