    Has anybody on this group had a problem with wheel bolts.
    I recently had new tyres ,when the fitter replaced the wheel he said the the
    wheel bolts are stripped. This cost me over £200 for a new hub .The threads
    on the bolts have a very fine thread. 12mm x 1.25
    Is this a common problem ?

    Never heard of it. I recently changed a wheel myself (Peugeot Partner).
    One thing I always make sure of: tighten wheel bolts only BY HAND! Only for
    removing bolts pneumatic devices may be used.
