I have a Bailey Olympus 462 (2010) in the instructions the bolt tightness is shown as 110 NM, I have had it serviced and the technician showed on his report that he had tightened the bolts to 130 NM. I commented on this and his reply was that the current recommendation from manufacturers was for between 120 to 130 NM . The instruction book states that it is as dangerous to over tighten the bolts as to under tighten them. Does anyone know whether the recommendation has been changed.

Wheel bolt tightness.

There was a spate of Bailey wheels falling off. Bailey introduced a new wheel bolt, WSL with a defined torque. My Swift was 130nm on alloys and 110nm on steel wheel. It was a 2011 caravan and its handbook had an amendment label on front cover and a couple inside. I would check with Bailey. Some owners fitted WSL fasteners anyway as they are superior to standard ones. Does yours have them?
The unicorn Valencia, Madrid and Almeria were 160Nm
Unicorn ll all models had WSL wheel bolts and were 130Nm as they still are now
Thank you everyone for your help, I will leave the torque setting at 130 NM. Roger.
