    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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
    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

    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!
