There is a key available that is 100% guaranteed to remove ANY locking wheel nut, the AA/RAC etc use it apparently. Get you g/f to call them and explain, they'll soon let her know if they can remove it or not

It's called a big socket. They can be removed, but it'll be damaged and fit for the bin afterwards.
