Ok a little help guys..... anyone in the n/w know where I can get a wheel bearing changed (good job/does'nt cost the earth) in the next week or so? My usual garage is all booked up... Also anyone fancy tweaking me torsion bar for a few quid? :)

no idea about a wheel bearing, you'll just hav 2 try a good local garage!

torsion bar - i would be happy to help, but you know how far away i live!! LOL

try doing it yourself - its realy easy, i did my first one the other day, only took a couple hours and that was going slow as fook and changing the rear shocks at the same time. think im going to re-adjust mine 2day - go maybee another 10mm or 20mm lower - should only take 30mins or so.

just use zed's guide on RSC, need a 30+mm socket and a couple M10 bolts with some nuts. WD40 b4 hand and then you will have no probs!

that torsion bar is a load of toss.

mine is lowered one notch already - and ive spend days trying to free the bar off...will it move - will it sack.

so i gave up and left it.

if it comes out first time then game on - if its seized solid - unlucky !

i thought my wheel bearing went, turns out its my CV joint from my 360spin,

MegaSpares want 45.00 for the cv joint each and then another 35.00 until i bring my knackered on back so they can get it refurbed then i get the 35.00 back.

Makin money of my spares the twats!
