on a rear disc setup, its nigh on impossible for the wheel to fall off. the caliper holds it all on

I've had knackered bearings before, but this one's a winner for me. As for driving back from Germany, I have put at least 2.5K miles on the car since the noise started. lol

There's a lot of play in it. Surely it's held onto the bottom arm by four bolts, and nothing else? if it fails catastrophically, then it would just separate anyway?
It's not an issue though. It won't be moving until I replace the bearing.


Love that street sign in front of the 'driveway' btw! Did they get billed for cutting down the original sign?

i have no idea, but we were laughing when we did it.....

we replaced all the old signs in the borough, and one day did all but one on an estate, and a woman came out & asked why the one near her hadn't been done, and my mate said to ring the council & complain...we had the sign back at the yard & 1st thing the next morning, we fitted it, and she came out to see us.. my mate then told her that someone at the depot had a right rollocking & there was all sorts of trouble, apparently women shouldn't swear like that etc...i had to sit in the truck till i stopped laughing.

stupid ****ing **** nova and peice of **** welder, hurt my bad foot booting the **** out of the welder across the garage cant be ****ed with it and cant afford a good new one



cant be arsed to look at it anymore just going to let it rot in my garage till next year

to add to it i still cant find the locking disc for my grinder so cant mount the bucket seats again, not to forget my bird has moved all my stuff around again and now the sliding bars for the gte frames are ****ing missing



why cant she leave my stuff allown, why is it my stuff is mess but hers is just stuff, **** it im going to go get some cans in.

Woman wont understand the stuff we keep in our toolboxes, sheds and garages nor will they see the reasoning of why we love our novas just as much as we will never understand how a womans mind works. When we moved the missus wanted to put some stuff in my garage so she could sort it out bit by bit, this never happend so last week i tok it all out and dumped it on her side of the bed lol

Im pissed off at the weather as ive been busy all week and when i plan on refitting my exhaust as the fella who i bought the car off didnt do it properly so it ralltles at 70 and is pissing me off and has done since i bought it

Van breaking, Car breaking and both costing me a small fortune, so decide to cheer myself up and fired up the Nova started no probs so ended on a high.

Rounded brake line nuts! Final part of 4 hours work, so fuming!!!

Best part is they were sprayed with underseal, underseal that was applied by a main dealer in September!!!!

Nice one. I built the missus a 5x7 shed and got her to pay for it so she can store all her sh!t and the garden crap in there lol
Garage, workshop & lockup are all mine :) Only thing of hers in there are her summer wheels and tyres as they wont fit in the shed.
Got the loft aswell, all mine apart from a 4'x1' space for the Xmas tree lol

Got a few bits hidden round the house here and there, she goes nuts when I leave stuff lying around. Got a pair of Recaro Nova subframes sat under the conservatory furniture, she has not spotted them yet!

My missus dosnt drive which is 1 less car for me to maintain but i dont keep any parts or any of my tools in the house and im the only 1 with a key to my garage but if i need to clean up some car bits soon as she goes shopping i get them in the dishwasher whaile shes out

The heater motor going tits up in my fabia as its freezing up here,then trawling the scrappy to find another one and getting more freezing & wet in the process.
