I am planning on servicing the car myself on Thurs/Fri, but have noticed that my car has some locking wheel nuts (see piccy), but no key to undo them! Having looked into these a bit it appears that they are a standard Mazda part, but having called my local dealer am told that they wouldn't be able to supply one for me. The part number is H001-86-260-2.

Would a kindly PH'er have one that I could borrow/buy at all? Am in SW London, but will pay postage if need be.

That's identical to the key I have as well. Unfortunately I'm about 400 miles away!

This'll sound silly but have you checked it's not rolling around waaaaay down at the front of the boot on either side of the fuel tank (behind the spare wheel on the right, or the metal panel covering the filler neck on the left)? I had to hunt for fecking ages before I found mine. hehe
We have a winner!! Was found after reading this advice on the MX5OC forum, it had just been chucked in/fallen out of the toolkit. It is a standard part with no variation, so if someone has googled this because they can't find theirs, lift the jack out and have a good look around the boot!
