	I've lost the key and the original packaging with the key number and now can't get the damn things off.This is really pissing me off as I need to paint the drum part of thr rear disks and one tyre has a slow puncture. They are the three pin type you get from Vauxhall. Any ideas? Prob best if you don't reply on here for obvious reasons,u2u me instead Cheers:)
