Tip: make sure your wheels are done up tight.....

Wing looks repairable from here.

 

This is unfortunate but it's something i check regularly. Not only that they are tight but are torqued correctly.

 

 

The wing was dented anyways, so an excuse to get a new one! Every cloud.....

I noticed that I'd lost a wheel nut and that the other 4 were quite loose on one of my wheels recently. I'm glad I checked as I was doing a 200 mile round trip that day so could have caused me some serious problems.

 

I guessed someone was either trying to steal the wheel or trying to kill me.

Had the same thing happen to me on a family holiday to Wales in a Maverick with 6 people aboard. The day after we arrived, we set off through the little country lanes, felt some vibration so i stopped and checked....1 bolt remaining :scare: sent the others guys back down the road and they found 3 bolts within 100 metres, strange.

Was scarey seeing as we had driven for 3.5 hrs at motorway speeds the day before.

 

So im paranoid with bolt tightening now, as you can imagine.
