Well I collected my new set of locking wheel nuts (Britpart RTC9535) and they're not cheap! I thought it would be worth it though even though I only have steel modulars on my Defender.
I checked the torque setting in the W/S Manual and put the new nuts on. Just as I finished the last one and as I took the socket off one of the spigots fell out!
The fitting hole has gone oval and there's f**king rust in it! How ****e is that. I dare say it will get exchanged fairly swiftly but the replacement will be just as ****e!
If they can't survive me and a torque wrench how the f**k will they survive Kwik Fit and their on-off guns?
While paying for the nuts I was talking to Bill in Autoland and it appears that Disco 3s are having a spate of their spare wheels and CATs stolen in the south east.
