This afternoon my offside front wheel fell off on the A10. When I left home at lunch time the car was making a rumbling sound. I stopped twice and looked to see if there was anything obviously wrong under the front end. I didnt see anything so I kept driving. The second time I looked I'm pretty sure that all the wheel nuts were there but about 2 miles further up the A10 all the wheel studs snapped off and the car came down on the wishbone.
Because the breakdown happened on a major road the Surf had to be recovered by a flatbed truck with a total-lift crane which is going to be expensive. It also has extensive mechanical damage.
The worst thing is that I have absolutely no idea why this happened or what I could have done to prevent it.
