I've looked in the WikiLEC and searched but couldn't find an answer.
Does anybody know what the correct torque settings are for the head bolts please ?

Simon,
Yep those numbers are what the Workshop Maunual state (Section EC, page 37).
I spent a while looking in section TDG for the numbers, as that was where I would have expected to find them - typical Lotus!)
Edit - already answered whilst i was looking for the answer!

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Thanks everybody !
I searched the WikiLEC under a few headings and i thought it might appear under 'Torque Settings' - but it was one of the few settings that wasn't there !!
