The reason is because the car stands about a lot is the cause of the problem according to them.


TORQUE all the wheel bolts including the locking bolt which is very important . Leaving the locking bolt slack can cause your problem .

No locking nuts on an "R" ? where do you live? ! :-)
I think i would like to protect over £2000 of wheels/tyres . I doubt the insurance would pay out as locking bolts are standard ..
Locking bolts are not trouble anymore since the new style came out in 2010 .
