thats happened to me a few times. i always check them myself now. the last time i specifically said to my mate is that wheel tight to which he said of course do you think i'm stupid. 10 miles later at 70mph the steering wheel was having a fit. another time it was a garage that didn't bother to tighten them. ended up with only 1 wheel nut left to hold the wheel on

The motor is looking good mate, not to sure on the alloys and the stickers coming off will make it look so much better imo.

What your explaining sounds like the icv might need a clean. Mine done the same so I cleaned the icv and all sorted now
