Default Fookin Wheel Bearing

Driving the S1 cab on the way home yestyerday from work and realised the wheel bearing was fcuked good and proper - the whole car was skittling down the road and grinding like a bitch

and it only just made it to my mates garage when we jacked it up the wheel looked like it was held on with only one nut it was moving that much - needless to say i refused to drive the mile down to my house.

Oh well its in there now and will be ready by the time i officially finish surfing the net during work time

well this one nearly did brake - i think i was very lucky to get it to the garage.

I only live a few mins down the road and refused to take it anywhere the way it was.
