Sorry everyone should have said I remmoved the shiny cover off the 2 spining nuts already. When the shiny cover is removed you can look right down the nut and two of my studs are just spinning around. Going to a different Mechanic on Monday who fixes DAF trucks for a living and I trust him! He is going to drill out the studs and save my alloy wheel. He is not sure of the condition of the rest of the hub until its all stripped down. But I seem to think he might be able to weld in 2 new studs not sure exactly what he said but it sounded cheaper than what Land Rover said! Which was new £280 HUB plus 4 -8 hours labour! Another Speciast said new studs can be pressed in as they are on a spline and they have had TD5 studs snapp quite often on Customers cars. I'll let you know the outcome on Tueday night when I get it back !!

Are there any other Series 2 TD5 Disco owners have trouble with their nuts! I tried to take the near side wheel off to change the discs and pads and hey ho - nightmare! 2 of the whell nuts just keep going round and round. Tried hitting them back in to get some thread but nothing. Was told by a Mechanic I will have to angle grind the WHOLE ALLOY WHEEL off! In pieces then saw off the Hub - Cheeses, the pads and discs kit only cost £50 but this is going to end up a £600 notes job! I didnt realise under those shiny Disco wheel nut covers that the bolts were so badly rusted. Anyone any ideas?
