3 Wheeler Mk4 On M25 Last Night After New Tyres In Under A Fortnight - Advice?

[Rhyso]

But wheel dropped off and missing nuts. That all abit like non veen torqued up.

Totally but the garage will have the disclaimer on the bottom of the invoice stating that the owner must recheck the bolts after a certain mileage

A local tyre place, the thing is the guy is into his dubs and has an amazing mk2 so I thought yeah il go with a fellow dubber and look what happens. I didnt even get a receipt and they didnt tell me to check them at all. I know they would need retorquing but I work in town so I dont drive in the week and this is the first time I have been on motorway.

Im going to get some legal advice tomorrow because I cant see how this is my fault. I dont know if I could even go through insurance at all?

I am breaking it though, I have umm'd and ahhh'd about it for ages but this has just made me not trust it anymore, plus It still needs cosmetic work which is bucks and I just want one that hasnt been tampered with like an r32, I will miss the engine (could even transfer it - stop it Ash) but they come with the genuine bumpers painted etc.

Gutted for you mate had a similar experience a few years back   

[bobbarley]

Aye, doubt you'll be able to hold the garage responsible now.  They could argue you removed the wheels since and didn't tighten them.  Their word against yours.

Glad you're ok though!

Gutted for you
Same thing happened to me when I had a ford lucky for me I h
Was only doing 20 mph when my wheel front wheel went past me as I was stopping to see what the noise was.

On other note if your serious abut breaking how much for bumper and exhaust

[Ashmond]

Its actually b0llocks mate,im going to still ring about legal advice tomorrow.

Anybody that wants bits pm me with an offer. Please make them sensible as I have a little diesal fiesta so Im not in a rush to sell for stupid money, its my pride and joy, I have spent years building it, its still my first car and im not going to sell for pennies...just saying

doubt theres anything you can do your ment to check wheel bolts after 30 miles every time you have a wheel off. 

as for there being bolts missing, ide put it down to loosing them when the wheel came off/loosing them when driving and them coming loose.
