Can you post a photo of one of the locking wheel nuts and the adapter. Might be someone has replaced one or the other with something different, fitted a non oem cover, or you have the wrong adapter.

Thanks all have found by giving it a wiggle and rotating it it fits just fine as post by RPSN (wife has said that for years).
Thanks again

Bit of a thread resurrection, but like a clown I’ve lost my adaptor, any advice on getting this sorted would be gratefully received, my beautiful Storm alloys are in mint condition so I really don’t want to attempt it myself

Tyre shops often have the tool to undo them. Main dealers too.

You’ve a couple of options.
One - if you have the code letter, look on eBay and see if anyone is selling.
Or - again eBay - search for Jaguar locking wheel nut code - and it should throw up a couple of sellers who will help you identify which code your key is.

PM me if you want any more help….

Good luck

And to all who haven't lost their key - make a note now of the code! ;)

Not sure if you’ve previously made a note of the code for your locking wheel nut adapter?

If not and you have the ‘Service, Warranty & Assistance’ booklet with your car documents (see pic of mine), turn to page 4 ‘Vehicle Details’ and you'll see the section ‘Locking wheel nut number’ which should have been completed to show the code.

In my MY18 I just got a Warranty handbook - no p;lace to record such information.

Same with mine; no such handbook, just the warranty booklet.

There is a note, at around page 260 of the 300 page manual which helpfully recommends you keep a ‘separate note’ of your adaptor key code. :idea:
But, by the time most owners get to read page 260, they’ve already mislaid their locking nut key :?
