| Any recommendations for brands of locking wheel nuts? |
|
There are lots of threads regarding problems with the LR locking nuts. Has anybody found a good replacement locking nut?

I don’t know of people getting their wheels stolen from these cars. I got rid of locking wheel nuts on my LRs ages ago. But forgot about my GTI - then when I had a puncture I remembered why I got rid of them on my LR. Took a day to get the rim off. PAGODA

Best replacement for a locking nut is a normal non locking nut.
I use Bearmach  Visitor from fullfatrr.com

Plus Uncle Ray's (RLD) spare wheel protector - the spare wheel is much more likely to be targeted by theives.
