Hey,
This is a really dum question but ahh well!
Am i correct in thinking that the wheel nuts on my 90 take a 27mm socket?
Kind Regards

all standard LR wheel nuts are 27mm on 90/110/def/disco1/rrc  ie: the ones with 165PCD hubs!

is it alloy nuts you have?

its normally cos the rust under the tarty cover makes it expand so a 27mm socket dont quite fit

Old sankey trailers are 24mm as I found out when trying to undo them with a 27,  doh :roll:

I think some LDV vans are 28 though
