<h2>What do I need to check the torque of my wheel nuts?</h2>
129 lb. ft (175 Nm) is the correct setting and mine were nowhere near that, make sure this is checked when the car goes in for service/tyre change etc or do what I just did &amp; do it yourself by purchasing:
<ul>
<li>a 21mm Draper Expert Hi-Torq® Wheel Nut Socket for £14 from a local store, however, in hindsight <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bergen-Piece-Alloy-Impact-Sockets/dp/B00A1UCJA8?camp=1634&amp;creative=19450&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;tag=teslaownersuk-21">I should have purchased this set for £19</a></li>
<li>a <a href="http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchRouter?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10151&amp;action=search&amp;srch=torque+wrench">Halfords Professional Torque Wrench 60-300Nm</a> (with lifetime warranty) for £89.99 or <a href="http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchRouter?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10151&amp;action=search&amp;srch=torque+wrench">smaller version (40-200Nm) for £10 less</a></li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>It is often recommended that you check the torque after driving a few miles after swapping tyres, etc. </li>
<li>Be careful not to scratch your nice alloys with a non-protected socket set, you can cover your socket in electrical tape of <a href="https://amzn.to/2a38Eqt">buy one with a plastic cover</a></li>
</ul>
