Sounds like a locking wheel nut
Check the glove box or where the spare wheel is for the "key" it looks like a socket
If not a good pair of mole grips ifnit isnt an alloy wheel

I dont think the halfords tool will work with this type as they are closed end , if they are steel wheels you wont have a problem getting some mole grips on the offending nut
