Loose Nuts

[Jonathan O'Leary]

Hey guys,

 

Just want to see what you all think about this, am I being paranoid or should I be worried?

 

Last Sat went to pick one of the guys up from he's house, got in, started the transit, put radio on, off I went, slight knock as I turned wheel, but that was it, picked mate up, turned round, knock again, so turned down the radio, then heard a knocking coming from front nearside wheel, nursed van home to the drive and took wifes car.

 

On Monday phoned garage to get them to pick the Transit up and was expecting wheel bearing needed replacing. Turns out all wheel nuts were finger tip loose. Felt stupid for not checking, but good got tipper back.

 

This morn set off for Kent at 5 in the morn, got a mile down the road and knocking is back, but swapped sides, turned round and went home. Phoned garage up at 8 and said noise was back, they came straight out, good as gold, this time the off side wheel nuts were finger tip loose.

 

Both sets of wheel nuts loose????? Anyone every had this? Can't think of anyone I've upset, but you never know I guess

lol thought that about the wife lol.

 

Didn't think about them being stolen, but its just a Transit tipper, so not fancy alloys, and why put the nut protector over it again? Unless they wanted it to look normal

Did you not think to get out and check the wheel nuts yourself?

N/s wheel nuts can possibly undo with momentum.

o/s however wont because of the rotation of the wheel actual keeps them tight within reason.

I thought that - particularly second time around.

 

Sounds like someone doesn't like you (or you have a poor mechanic)...
