Lucky you found that before it parted company on the road. Now that would be nasty, at any speed.

ray,
i remember a story of a guy in our club that has a 130 with more attachments than a swiss army knife. the thing is really loaded up, so much so that when he went ot get his rego inspection done at a LR dealer, they knocked him back because he had alloy disco rims on his 130. not because they were alloy or they were off a disco, but because they were not rated to carry the weight that the massively loaded 130 imposed.
the fact that yours are your road set points towards them being on when at work, loading the back of your ute with sand, plaster, gyprock etc. even though they are not disco rims and rated for off road, their load carrying capacity may not be sufficient for that sort of work.
just a thought

so i'd say to all others running alloys on your 130 check to make sure they are covered under your insurance company;)
trust me 110 boost alloys aren't :(
I would be interested to see how you go ray as i have the same rims on the disco, i am checking mine tomorrow.
I have been having trouble lately with the wheel nuts coming loose, when i change the wheel back from my steel ones i tighten them nice and tight and after a short drive they are all loose again, tighten them a second time and its fine, ver weird. Matt
That happens sometimes with my OEM LR alloys too ! ( not with all but one or two ). I always stop and check after a few K's after changing back from the steel rims.Quote:
