    Over The Top?

    Hello david, Date was 2010. If you want to fit just the one Alko Secure why not ask your insurance company if they will revise your policy. I believe others have fitted a wheel clamp on the second wheel to make it easier, but you may lose some of your discount. Make sure your insurance...

    Sqeeky Floor

    Hello Paul, I have a 2009 Swift Conqueror 630 it also had a squeaky floor in the end toilet shower room. After a few days I took a closer look and found the noise was coming from the walk-in shower unit. This comprises a perspex screen with a plastic base unit, and it was movement between the...

    torque wrench

    Hello Steve W I'm assuming ken is going to use his torque wrench for his caravan wheel studs. Please explain what you mean by "most applications", does this include caravan wheels? Whats the "angular torque" required for caravan wheels and the "indicated number of degrees, usually in several...

    torque wrench

    Here's a good product test from Auto Express in 2009. Halfords Professional comes out best but it depends what you use it for and how often you use it. The cheaper ones from Screwfix, Lidl or Aldi may be good enough. Make sure you get the correct torque range...

    wheel came off new caravan

    Hello Seth, Sorry but I was agreeing with your point of view, so I suppose I should have made that clearer. The "irrelevant ramblings" I referred to were not yours or related to any of your postings. I am convinced the problem with "wheels coming off" is a failure to follow recommended...

    wheel came off new caravan

    Hello Seth, I did try to give some positive answers on 11th December, it's amazing there are now 198 postings on this subject. I would suggest you read that posting again without being sidetracked by some of the irrelevant ramblings that followed. I doubt there is a design fault, rather a...

    wheel came off new caravan

    I have an interest in F1 motor racing and I can assure you parts do fall off due to design failings. Ross Brawn could confirm that, after the accident with the rear wing during practice for the Hungarian GP. Hopefully Massa has now made a full recovery.

    wheel came off new caravan

    Hello Euro, You shout "Do the bl**dy job correctly and wheels don't fall off". YES THEY DO. As I stated, if the wheels bed down after fitting the clamping force will be reduced, allowing the bolts to loosen with vibration. Doing the job correctly should include checking the bolts after 30...

    wheel came off new caravan

    No we don't need men with white coats, test rigs and monitors, just an understanding of what's happening. Then to follow a set of simple procedures to prevent the wheels coming loose. What "you" personally do is up to you, but to advise others to ignore safe practices, safety checks and the...
