[dieselink]

had a mechanic replace the front left wheel bearing,its now worse then before,is it possible to f*ck up fitting them ????????

[lozz]

Whats wrong with it mate?

noisey or is there \ play in the hub ?

[dieselink]

Even more noisy than before and the whole car rumbles realy bad.got the knobhead who fitted it coming out tomoz to look.but i think hes fooked it up some how.

[lozz]

Bearing as More than likely Colapsed,


Iwouidnt drive the car if iwas you, you couid be left Stranded or Requiring Recovery,

Bite your Tongue when the Mech arives, dont give him any excuse to walk away,

[dieselink]

I wont let him walk.if he aint gana put it right then i will just have to beat the sh*t out of him and empty his wallet.i am 6ft 4 and 22 stone.so i aint worried about fighting him lol.

No what meant was:

bite your tongue for abit, obviously you will be Miffed off with the Bearing failing But,
its best to let someone just try and sort the problem out,


It might not be down to bad fitting, Even new parts can Fail, ive seen new bearings fail just after 50miles or less,
One of the Reasons why Many just go in a Breakers yard and grab a hub /bearing carrier,

[dieselink]

Well i will find out tomoz and let u know.its been the same since he first fitted it.so i think hes put heat on it and f*cked it.will update u tomoz mate.if he shows up that is.i aint gana drive it any more.

hi lozz m8,well took old bearing out and it fell apart,the garage said it had been hammered in and thats what proberly knacked it,went and got another new one,had it pressed in,got back home and put it all back togeather.works brill,nice and smooth and quiet.the so called mechanic did not turn up and would not answer phone.i guess i will have to track him down now,tip him upside down to get my money back.also have another fault u maybe able to shed some light on,every time i touch brake pedel,the orange brake light comes on????????,not the red handbrake one.its got me scratching my head.

[lozz]

Glad to hear you got it sorted,
hope you get your money Back off the Mech.

As of the Warning light,
Havent got a clue Mate,

Have you looked at the Brake pad wires (if fitted) ?
Thats all ican think of off top of My head, sorry Mate,

[dieselink]

Think that twat knacked them to.i checked the fluid and the brakes r all new.but it stops well so no bothered realy...

[dieselink]

I am gana try and take old bearing back to euro parts to see if i can get money back.say it is a faulty bearing.worth a try

[lozz]

Have a look at the plug where the Brake pad wires go in,
if the pad wear sensor wires are knackerd, you can just loop it with a small peice of Cooker wire or thick ish wire to bridge it,

thats what idid with the old d9 ihad anyway, didnt have any problems afterwards,
and the pad wear thing aint nessary idont think, imho,

[dieselink]

I might try that to see if light stops coming on.cheers mate.
