Guys debating the garages to use (thanks for all your replies) - both garages I have used - the one I like and then the one I went to yesterday - are quite decent and both have done work on our other cars for us (the garage I'm having the problem with did quite a bit for us last week on another car hence why I thought I'd give them this to do as they are just round the corner).

I really don't understand why he would just put it down to brake pad rub and not do the bearing like I asked when i'm 95% sure he's wrong based on the last wheel....

H47PER I did an RAC HPI check - all clear! Glad of that but another £13.50 down the pan lol. Roads round here aren't the worst and we don't rag her too much - she usually gets to stretch her legs doing a 20 mile trip or so once a week and then usually 10 miles a day. Keeping it clean is a losing battle where we work though which I think could be a factor?

isnt HPI finance check?? other than what ive said, dont really think i can shed any light on this subject other than i hope it wasnt in a crash and fixed away from insurers so it didnt get registered. and if this was the case, could it be possible it may be the chasse twisted?

hpi tells you if your cars ever been written off, stolen, resprayed, had the number plate changed, the VIN number, if any finance is owed on it or if its been in a major collision (if they have been reported that is)

O I just thought it was finance and was a separate check for he rest

This seems a right pain in the ass Hope you get it all sorted soon

I've had my CV joint replaced a few months ago and when it went in for an MOT last month it needed the opososite side bearing done, a lot of money spent

warped caliper, warped disc, warped hub ?

Could be the bushes? Jack the car up and spin each wheel, if it whines
as it spins then that's how you know which bearings faulty have to say that £130 seems alot for just a bearing changed? Cost me £30 for the bearing and my mate fitted
it for £20, I'm pretty sure jamsport only charge £80 aswell Inc the bearing
