Have tried to be a bit more technical and have used a torque spanner on the wheel nuts set to the wheel nut torque, about 115 N/m. Its not really enough to turn the wheel. Maybe 125N/m would turn it, its that close.
Obviously those figures have to be multplied by the radius of the wheel studs...

I have a 03 TD4 auto which I suppose is a little thirstier than the manual.
However I reckon around town I am getting 26-30MPG and on the motorway, if I keep it down to around 65mph then I get 37-38, it all depends on how heavy your right foot is!

I have done the chalk line test on my 03 TD4 auto and can confirm that the VCU is turning OK. However if I jack up one rear wheel (handbrake off) and try to turn the rear propshaft with a screwdriver across the yoke, then the effort required almost bends the screwdriver. Is this normal? If so...
