after i finished lowering the car and dropped the jack down again, i erm kinda forgot to tighten up the bolts on one of my fronts wheels 
i only realised this after
driving back from hull to lincoln (40-50miles)
driving around town today (5miles)
and then as i pulled onto my estate i felt a knocking through the steering rack and got out to discover my front right wheel basically hanging on by a few threads each on the screws.
schoolboy error, learnt, taken into account for future 
all tightened up now thankgod
