Loss of wheels

I had a similar problem with my car after tyres changed several years ago luckily they never came off but made an awful noise the wheel nuts were loose they had been put on with the air driver but not torqued by hand since then I have always made sure that I witness it.

I have my caravan serviced by a mobile service engineer he always gets me to watch him torque the wheel nuts and sign for it.

Same with our dealer when we pick up our van after service.

The Good Owners Handbook [  ] tells us to check wheel nuts at least in the first 20 or so miles after a service/ removal!

It's become much more of a problem since Old Mechanics, you know the ones who always used wheel braces 'cos they didn't have power tools, retired from the trade 

Friends of ours had the same problem but only one wheel came off after a few hundred yards up the road after picking up their new van, they were offered a newer model but did not like the layout so they had a new mover fitted as it took most of the shock plus a cash settlement. I would get a mobile engineer (workshop approved) to check it over after the repairs and buy yourself a torque wrench 

My servicing dealer always makes me check the wheel nuts before I leave their premises, plus I then use my own torque wrench and check them again after about an hours driving or about 30 miles driving on the way home.
