Had new tyres fitted on Friday and I washed the car yesterday and noticed one nut missing and the locking wheel nut about 2 turns from falling off.

I watched the fitter tighten it up and used a torque wrench, and the invoice does state to check your nuts/bolts after 25 miles, which I didn't..... Luckily I had a spare nut from another car.

Went around checking all the other cars!

Personally I would keep an eye on this. I had a similar issue and it was down to the thread on the studs. Ended up changing my hub.
