Yes from a dealer - think they are labelled A,B,C ...etc so just get correct letter.
Gave that some serious consideration as it took me 20min to drill through a locking nut on my van with a cobalt drill a couple of months ago when the very same thing happened.
tyre fitters & their windy guns, it really winds me up when they wizz n hammer the nuts on and then laughingly put a torque wrench on after as if they have done the job properly. Club N.E.R.D.s

When I had the last set of tyres fitted I put the wheel nut key on top of a jar of vaseline on the counter.

Embarrassingly in for the 2nd round, bought another two
D3 Jack Russell carrier
D4 Landmark for towing duties
they are only about £3 at retail
local dealers should stock but make sure you know the letter code as unike the older Disco's the D3 does not have them marked on the stud
many a rainy day spent outside with a box of locking keys trying each one till you find the right one
well, many a day my guys have spent with me watching in the warm TLO has left the building.......

Hi
I just went to get my locking wheel nut tool and its missing as is jack handle, extension etc. The Jack is there.
Its a 2005 machine recently bought privately.
My nearest dealer is a 130 mile round trip.
Do you know how many keys there are?
I see A to N advertised. If there are only 14 I would be cheaper buying a complete set than driving to my nearest dealers.2005 SE Manual Cairns Blue
Faultmate MSV2
Series 2 - long gone
RR Classic long gone.
Disco1 believe its still going as a farm vehicle in France.
