Heard a slight knocking when out saturday afternoon, it got worse quite quickly whilst I was thinking about limping home. Decided not to when it started graunching. Fearing the worst,I parked it safely and decided I couldn't be bothered to wait a couple of hours for Green Flag so went for a pint in a local pub just down the road and got a taxi home. Phoned green Flag Sunday morning , the wife dropped me off, ten minutes later he turned up and all it was was loose wheel nuts on the front nearside. No damage done thank god. I can't remember who had the wheel off last, so bit of an odd one really.

I do have a stud conversion kit which I got from Joe at FCSS which should cure the issue fully when I have chance to fit them. I wouldn't have thought that it would. It's the head/seat interaction of the bolt that holds it tight, not the thread. I'd check that the fasteners are the correct length as that can cause havoc. I'd also check that the hub face is clean and flat. Lastly, you might just have a thermally driven creep.

Pretty sure it must have been the head/seat interaction as the problem has basically gone away with a different set of wheels, although the wear on the bolts is probably part of the problem. New nuts with the stud conversion should sort that.
