It stopped raining! Got out and looked into things. The PCV valve seems to work fine and am looking for a good place to mount an oil separator. In front of the PCV valve I found a hole with a rubber plug in it. This looks like a dandy place to put the drain tube and the only down side is that it is right next to a coil. Does this look like a good spot? The oil separator will be a Moroso of 4" x 3".

Erm… mr lairdscooby just beat me to it with a much better reply

The last person to have the wheel off probably just gunned the wheel nut on and over-tightened it. The nuts are supposed to be torqued up - don’t know the torque. original jag nuts have an alloy covering which looks pretty to start with, but rust eventually develops beneath and swells the nut. I swapped mine for toyota solids

This is a serious on going fault with the design of these nuts. I have all four tyres replaced. And was strongly advised to replace the nuts. As they are swelling???? 😳 I ordered a new set costing £50 for all 16 nuts. I wish I kept the old ones as the garage who fitted them, threw the old ones away. Recently had a full service and all good. just picked up car after having wheels refurbished. And a nut has sheared of a stud. so having to replace the nut and the stud. This is very concerning . Imagine being at the road side in an emergency attempting to change a tyre. When I have had to remove a wheel. I had to put a steel tube over the brace to crack the joint to free the nut. So what do we do guys? Is there a product, we can use to prevent this happening in the future?
