check the obvious places, it should be in the toolkit under the spare wheel, but I have found them in the glove box, centre console, door pockets and even loose in the boot in the past

if all else fails knock an undersize socket on and take the lockers off that way, they will u/s after this so you will need to replace with another set of lockers or four normal nuts

I have a set of lockers with key and loads of standard nuts here if you need, just pm me

depending on how friendly your local jaguar dealership is , they might undo it for you , as there are only 12 keys for lockers on Jags, no matter how unique they tell you they are, the dealership will carry a ' master ' for each pattern
