Right I've just checked my Haynes manual which is for years 99 to 05

At the beginning of chapter 1 - Routine maintenance and servicing, it has a list of torque settings. For the rear axle nut it has 65 Nm. It does not specify between the different models

BUT.........

At the beginning of chapter 7 - Brakes, wheels and tyres, it also has a list of torque settings......

Rear wheel axle nut
X, Y, K1 and K2 models ............65 Nm
K3, K4 and K5 models ............100 Nm

I don't know why one is called rear axle nut, and one is rear wheel axle nut, but it looks like they have made a mistake in chapter 1 by not specifying the different models. I wish they would make a manual for the curvy and one for the pointy to avoid confusion.
