My Halfords key was the type with four pegs. Two of the pegs snapped and another had a hairline crack.

Of course they'll say that!! It's because they're the EASIEST to remove :lol:

I've taken a set of Halfords locking nuts off without the key - screwdriver and a hammer. Plus the keys snap very easily.

If the key to undo the nuts snaps, halfords can actually order you a replacement one in if u take the code either off the key or the nut (can't remember which part now) into the store with ya.
