Title: help needed am worried a bit
Post by: peter the butcher on 27 June 2016, 12:10:55

ok, so I went to have 2 tyres put on the front, first thing this morning. When lad was removing the first wheel, he said there was a wheel nut missing, other 4 studs were secure enough, and have not noticed a problem this past 2 weeks, even when checking pressures last week. Now I know there are only 4 instead of 5..... is it safe? been all over this past week, including Manchester, never felt any difference.
Thoughts? :-[

As safe as it maybe, I recall if being an offence with points given if caught

I'm sure you'll trip up over a hand full of Vauxhall wheel bolts at your local scrappy ..... remove another to measure/compare the length
