RAC, from all reports seen on JF seems to be sooooo much better than the autoclub.

You can tell if threadlock was used on a bolt - you'd see the blue glue in the threads. The only bolts I've seen that used it are the two star head bolts that hold the lower wishbone together. JTIS says the bolts through the lower control arm bushings are to be replaced - didn't understand why so I didn't replace them.

Had same problem on mine after a brake job. Years ago I had a new BMW and I had a highly reputable shop pick my car up for a routine oil change and maintenance. When I drove hoem that night, the engine bay began smoking terribly and the oil light came on and I could hear valve clatter! Yep, the tech forgot to screw the oil fill cap on!

Can I assume from all this that Jaguar stopped the use of safety wire? If so, when, specifically? My X300 still uses safety-wired bolts.
Cheers
