So word and suspicion has it that i have a rear wheel bearing whinning it's tits off. Is there anybody in the Southampton area that fancies attacking said job with me? Maybe even earning a few bob by doing it for me

[tintin]

I'd heard it was a balls ache but didn't expect no replies

Sorry Tintin. Local, but I am a bit too busy getting mine up to scratch for the MOT this month.
All I can say is that the start of the job is in a how-to here:

What makes you think it's bearings? Could it be the diff has dumped it's oil and has got noisy? Wheel bearings usually rumble - diffs whine.

Local is an understatement, your practically on my doorstep Ownly going by word of mouth on the wheel bearing at present as i've not picked the car up yet so have not had the opertunity to listen for myself. A good run back from Cardiff should show me any issues that need rectifying. I've a good six months to sort everything out before running it around Europe so should you get five mins

Im in Havant & work in Eastleigh....

I might be persuaded to loan a hand depending on when you are doing it

I must warn though - I'm not a mechanic - I just hit stuff til it works again

Hi tintin i'm also in southampton and will try to help if poss but i will warn you they are a pain in the backside to do.  But i do have access to a workshop and tools(if the boss lets me use it).  If you can get the arm off it will be a lot easier to change as you can put it in a press      on the car is very difficult. Let me know nearer the time and i'll see what i can do.
