After a weekend playing in the mud, you'll probably want to go back to a sensible tyre choice if you've been running on MTs.

When doing this don't forget to put the wheel back on before you lower the jack.  Or, to put it another way, don't do what I've just done and drop your Disco.  :oops:

I thought he'd have come out by now.

Best bit was when the bloke following him pulled up and said you might need these.

His Wheel nuts! He'd gone back and picked them up.

I don't much care how cleansing it is, it involved a Vauxhall Firenza, and a very steep hill. It's not something I wish to re-live thanks!! :lol:  :lol:

I owned my first Land Rover for about 20 minutes. On the way home the back wheel came off.

Bah!

Lesson learned. Check the nuts!!!
