Does the AMV8 have locking wheel nuts?

I seem to have a slow puncture or leaking valve and am going to take it to the tyre place in the morning.

It occurred to me that I don't recall ever getting the key thing for them (if fitted).

Cheers

I was surprised with this omission as well. I actually started hunting around the boot for 5 minutes looking for a key before the tyre fitter shouted that it wasn't required. Now that it's public knowledge, better start looking for one that fits before someone takes a shine to more than just a valve cap!

it's an 06 plate. The key is contained in the packaging that the dealer fit locking wheel nuts were supplied.
