Wheel nuts

[ajrl]

I'll be getting a torque wrench for Christmas, where can I find a table of the correct torques? I've been changing summer/winter wheels for over 20 years by feel, thought I would see how far off I have been tightening them...

Also, what size are the lug bolts? I want to try a thingemy rod to help align the wheel as I attach them...

TIA

All I can suggest is to either ask your dealer or email MG's customer service.

Google says the wheel bolt torque is 120nm to 130nm, which sounds right because this is the same for the MG4. As for the bolt size for your thingemy rod, that might also be the same as the MG4 (14x1.5), but I'd pop one off and measure it before buying one.

A Christmas Story. Around 1974 me and my mate Nick set off to go to the pictures in Birmingham in his red Austin A40. Whizzing along listening to the Rolling stones I think, we could hear the sound of sleigh bells jingling. I rolled my window down and said it's coming from the front wheel but we continued into town regardless. Parking up I asked him if he'd done anything earlier to that wheel, oh yes he'd had the wheels off earlier. So we popped the chrome hubcap off and lo and behold he'd forgotten to put one of the wheel nuts back on. I can't remember the film but lets say it was Three wheels on my wagon. Ha ha and a happy Christmas to you all.
