    They are little plastic arrows. We put them on our nuts ( wheel:D) with the little arrows pointing towards each other.
    If the arrows begin to point away from each other, the nut may be loosening. This can be v serious as it could indicate a broken wheel-stud and could lead to wheel-loss.

    When a wheel is changed, the vehicle should be stood ( or driven for a very short distance ) and then the nuts retightened to a specific torque ( the twisting force needed to acheive the correct nut tightness) for optimum safety.

    Tight nuts= good:D

    Yeah, now I know! :T

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    elfen, how about starting by only paying for yourself - don't subsidise him for anything. then save the money for a bit. that could help get a bit of a deposit for a room?

    scaredy - I'd have to do it for a studio flat - I don't think a room and sharing that much with people would do me good. Need to go and get the local paper and start looking i think

    you might be able to get help from your local social services or council, elfen. Where abouts do you live?
