I'm on holiday till 15 aug. There is plenty of room here and workshops.

Thanks everyone for the advice when we were stuck in France! After that first day nothing else went wrong with the van so that was a relief. I was a bit paranoid about the wheel coming off for the rest of the trip though..

When we got back we went to a wheel specialist and they took one look at it and said the offset was wrong. (not that that would affect the fixing but obviously still not ideal). I think its possible that the nuts used weren't quite. Anyway, we're investigating getting some new wheels and once they're on i won't have to worry about it any more!

Cheers
Jane.
