Hi I've only had my car 3 weeks or so and have booked it in to get detailed but i can't find the locking wheel nut anywhere. should it be under the boot floor or in the side panel? i don't seem to have a jack or any tools either!! could someone send me a pic of what should be there so i can go back to the dealer please.

Jack and tools are under the storage container that is under the false floor. Your locking wheel nut is probably there too. My locking wheel nut was missing too when I bought the car.

Thanks I've got nothing under there other than the tyre compressor. i can't find a photo online of what should be there to go back to my dealer with.

Under plastic tray which lifts out

There is another tray under the one holding the compressor. Pull the edge nearest to the rear bumper and see if it comes out

Take out the false floor, then take out the storage container.

As mike said, mines underneath the false floor as I had the same panic when changing the front tyres!
