Can anybody offer any advice on how I might identify a part number for
the correct key to remove OEM security bolts from my 2003 C270cdi? I
went to my local dealer, who had a kit of 24 keys, none of which
fitted. They did advise me that their kit only covers current models,
and that it may not have been correct for the 2003 models.
My bolts have a slot cut in a symmetrical pattern, resembling the six
petals of a flower, per this pic:

any help or alternative suggestions very much appreciated. My local
tyre fitter has a tool with a left-hand tapered thread to grip and
unscrew the bolts, but unfortunately there is insufficient clearance
in the wheel to allow it to work. I want to resort to drill-out as an
absolute last resort.
