Can you contact the previous owner (named on the V5) to see whether they mistakenly kept hold of the key?
If you don't locate the key, you can get them off but it will cost you four sockets.hammer the socket on and you should get them off.works for me.
Don't use expensive or cheap sockets,try middle of the road stuff like Draper.

If you try the "hammer and socket" routine and it works for you(as it has for me on many occasions).Please post result here and Keyplayer can remove the builders merchant number from his mechanics diary

Sorry jonnyfishing, I wasn't criticizing your advice, indeed it's excellent advice. The bricks I mentioned were for sitting the car on after the wheels have been removed. A joke, albeit a poor one! Years ago, I woke up to find a car of mine sitting on bricks minus the alloy wheels, which had a set of locking nuts on them. I wasn't suggesting he hammer the sockets on with a brick!
