Tried similar threads but nothing clear.
Have a 2011 Multijet here up on boards and weather is good...Needs struts discs & pads front. Drums & shoes rear. Black Death on one injector and rather rusty rear silencer but no leak. Will try for pics tomorrow.

Anyway anyone got torque settings for rear hub nut and front caliper to hub Adaptor bolts which have a fine thread. Looking around 100psi for this like other cars. Surprised how easy it was to loosen rear hub nuts. Rear silencer seems to be double skinned as loads of rust sheets falling off it but its still sealed. Black death being taken care of by my Injector Expert, he says seat will need recut due to flame burn.
 
When I did my hubs I took them to 100% on my 1/2" drive torque wrench then gave it a bit more with the breaker bar. Not total precision but a lot better than whacking it up too hard and having the spindle shear off. It did 10,000 miles in my hands with no problems.



If you are worried, clean the threads and use my method with some threadlock.


My 1970's Mini 1000 with castellated locking nut had the spindle thread shear off causing the wheel to fall off. All because some gorilla had forced it around too far - probably to get the split pin through.
 
Only taken with my phone in the library but I think there readable

The gunked up fuel lines could do with a clean but wont affect MOT unless its actually dripping out.
