My car has the standard 15" VTS alloys.

I guess being alloys I should do the wheel nuts up with a torque wrench, but does anyone know what setting (how many lb.ft)?

The manual and Haynes book don't seem to know.

Thanks.

Hi mate no exact mesurements needed!

Literaly tighten them up whilst the car is jacked up as tight as you can without giving yourself a hernia!

Then once you drop the car you wanna try and get another half a turn,

And all will be sweet,
