In reference to the Freelander comment. Aren't these Freelander parts Volvo!

Could be the wheel was overtightened by a mechanic when the tyres were last replaced & the bolt snapped off & eventually the wheel came off. Someone I knew many decades ago had this almost happen. The wheel was bolted on with 3 or the 4 bolts! Mazda from Memory, not that that has anything to do with it!

Plenty of Australians run over & kill their children in their driveway's every year! Maybe we should blame the manufacture!


Yes , All Ford owned or colaboration entities at the time . LandRover, Jaguar , Volvo, Mazda , I once did some work at the Gaydon site when it was Ford Premier Automotive

Just as an afterthought , I often wonder about the thousands of hours by highly qualified engineers that go into testing and obtaining “ type approval “ for new vehicles , only for some bloke in an industrial unite to “ improve “ said vehicle with not much more testing than “ making it a bit thicker “ . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned !

2023 Toyota Hilux invincible X 2.8 Auto .
