My old Vauxhall dealership had a tray full of master sockets, which had almost every type of wheelnut key that Vauxhall issued 9 times out of 10 they would have one that fitted | |

do you have rac,aa or greenflag cover? if you do or know someone who does call them and before they arrive put your tyre down and they will come remove it so they can change the wheel | |

another way is to drill into it, then try turn the key with something like a hex key or a alan key. | |

Take it to Vaux and they can try the keys they have in stock if you don't have the number for your key. Or you can choose one of the more extreme techniques... | |

go to a decent garage they will have a tool with a left handed thread that u smash onto to locking whell but and undo, the teeth on the tool dig into the metal as you undo it, you wont be able to use to wheel buts again as the tool mullers them!! | |
