Quick warning to all - Mark has just arrived at my place complaining that his car is making a clunking noise at low speed (ie just rolling) other than that the car seemed fine.
A quick check around the car revealed all but one of the wheel nuts had worked loose, and they had been fitted using an air-gun only days before.
I know the hand-book says you should check this sort of thing on a regular basis, but how many of us do?
Check before it's too late s:( :( s:(
Blimey!
Did you not finish the job with a torque wrench Mark?
normally yes, in this instance no.
I'm just glad thats all it was.
mental note. no short cuts. s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

I do.
The bolts never seem to hold tight with alloy wheels...unless you over torque them.
