What torque should I do the wheel nuts up to?

Anyone able to point me to a list of torque settings for this car in general?

Thanks.

Its not a lot. IIRC its somewhere between 75-85lbft. I think its in Graham's Sag manual.

I use 100Nm as I have a new fangled torque wrench. Works out at about 75lb/ft.

I have always done them up 'medium tight' on the Targarama scale of tightness. Never had one fall off yet (I won't mention losing 3 nuts on one wheel on my MK1 Escort way back when I was a fresh driver ... that was the crappy welds causing the bolts to spin though).
