The old nuts where in the spare wheel, someone had put a new sping likage etc in and just not botered to put locking nuts on.

Was the quickest, easiest big improvment Ive done.. changes gear nice and easy now.. crunches a bit in second new gearbox oil or clutch next I think.

that would worry me. as if they have got that simple task wrong, what else have they played with
