Swollen nuts

Just had my RRS serviced and swollen nuts (LOL) was an advisory. Where is best to order replacements other than the stealers?

have emailed AF as I cant see Bearmach nuts in silver.

Do the locking nuts have the same problem or do they not seem to suffer from this?

The locking nuts suffer the same problem. Discard them and just use 5 ordinary nuts seems to be the best thing to do. It's what I've done and is popular with our Disco3 cousins too. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I'm currently waiting for a set to be delivered from AF.

I'm also thinking about going away from the LR designed nuts altogether and buying a set of solid stainless steel nuts:

Not cheap but certainly fit-and-forget unlike the treat-as-a-service-item LR ones. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
