treblet Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 If you read the receipt for getting your tyres fitted you'll probably find it says you should check and re-tighten the nuts within 20 miles of having them fitted...Sorry but its your own fault really mate!

l66upo Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) no tyres were fitted, A TYRE FITTER...and was no where near 20miles from my work, more like 5mins..hes openly admitted he didnt use a torque wrench so i wudnt say thats my fault at all when some1 hasnt done something correct in the first place..mate Edited March 10, 2009 by l66upo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 You've just said a tyre fitter did the bolts up for you... now you are saying you didn't have tyres fitted?Either way, If it was me I'd still want to check the bolts myself before driving on them!
