I've got the usual problem of a stone stuck between the disc and shield which I'll dig out myself. Can some kind soul tell me the torque settings for the wheel bolts please?

When the wheels off I tend to undo the little Phillips screw that hold the disk In place and wobble the disc. They tend to just fall out on the ground then
 
So, I dropped the car off at Kwik Fit as planned. They said “We’ll ring you”. One hour later I get the promised call and went to pick my motor up. They explained that they had taken off both front wheels, removed the backing plates, removed a couple of stones from the holes in the disc’s, removed the pads and dressed them off to remove any scoring and re-polished the discs. “How much do I owe you”? Says I, “Nothing” says he. “What”? Says I, aghast. “We’re going to put it down as a safety check” was the reply. I even offered him a tenner to buy biscuits. Nope, they were having none of it. I did promise to be back when I need tyres though. Fair play to Kwik Fit.
