Far from it, it was loose last time and I had it done at my local garage using a torque wrench. Can you get wheel studs separately or does this require a new hub? I know I'll need to change the wheel bearing (you can't take the hub out without screwing the rear bearing apparently)

Guess it could've been a while ago and then something has made them fail?

Never replaced one myself, look at the parts diagram on lings.

You won't be able to fit studs unless you split the hub

Unless you know the history of them all, I'd be looking to change very single one on the car after that!

Can wheel studs be purchased from the likes of GSF / Euros or are we looking at a complete hub here?

Hmmmm, not good. Got a couple of days to get it fixed before Ricky run!

As mentioned, be worth replacing them all, as if 2 have failed, the others are waiting to fail.

Guess to replace just the studding, you will need to completely pull the hub apart to press them out / in.
Will cost more, but be a lot easier to replace the full assembly.
Give Si from Hendy a shout and see what he can do.
Good Luck and hope you get it sorted!
