Wheel Nut Torque
What amount of torque do the wheels nuts need to be tightened to?
I seem to recall the figure of 130, but can't find where I wrote it down
Thanks.

I thought it was 140, it is in the manual - but I'm indoors supposedly working!DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Thanks ronp.
I'm going to attempt my first DIY wheel swap, using my new air jack. Normally get my mates garage to do it, but there's no excuses now.

I guess I am getting a bit paranoid about wheels, what with them being stolen, locking wheel nuts that may get stuck, uneven wear , unequal tread depths etc. Just to add to it, what do people do about the torque if you are stuck somewhere changing a wheel, do you just tighten it as much as you dare then limp home and get them checked, or do people carry torque wrenches around with them . If it is the latter , any reccommendations ?

In general Davro very few peeps carry torque wrenches around with them ...just tighten to a stop ...then apply an additional firm push to stop again 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
I carry an 18inch Draper extension bar with a six sided socket, without putting total effort into tightening I can easy get 140nm. It's just a matter of checking when I get home.

I carry a torque wrench where the jack should go. I feel happier that I know they are tight enough before I drive off. I keep the Takla down the side of the dog cage so I do have a jack, just not the LR one.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
