Thanks very much indeed for these very useful replies. I do have access to a friend pit so I think that's the solution. So with the wheels on I propose to slacken the bolts then bounce the car up and down a bit and then torque up the bolts again. Not really sure of the torque setting. Should I put one or two people in the car while the bolts are torqued or just let it sit neutral? Thanks again what a great bunch you are.

Haven't seen any cheaper but I would try my local independent tyre dealer for a price. Don't forget to factor in the cost of fitting, balancing, old tyre disposal if buying on line. Was cheaper by £5, a set of 4, for me at my tyre dealer.

+1 on bolts not being torqued up enough. All the twist should be taking place in the rubber and silent, not the metalwork. The copperslip is a good idea, but just to make dismantling easier at a later date. Don't have access to an SE build manual here for the recommended torque figure. Bolts should be tightened with the car on the ground and the wheels supporting their weight so that the rubber in the bushes aren't twisted when the suspension is neutral. Jen
