Problem with swolen nuts!
Put the MTRs back on my car in the searing heat (well 21c) and looks like all of the wheel nuts will have to be changed as all bar 2 or 3 had to have the wheel wrench hammered on! I still have one fixed in the socket for the breaker bar. At £100 ish to change them all I'm not very impressed. I was going to make a comment about usual LR crap build quality but can't be ar$ed!
