Feels so good having my Sheldon back! Missed all the rattles and squeaks he makes. Hoping the new replacement electric fan I have for him will be a straight swap


old original
Trying to work out which I hate most, the car or the eedgits who designed certain electrical bits on it...

Something to do with the wheel bearing I think. Making a horrid grinding noise. Its far to cold and I'm far to ill to be laying on the drive way playing minis lol.

May be worth checking the backing plates aren't bent and grinding against the disc

I don't have any backing plates on it. Steering felt fine and it still braked fine hence why I'm thinking wheel bearing. But I have flu at the moment and its bloody cold. Been almost 2 weeks. I'm thinking of calling it quits and doing what i hate doing. Paying someone to do it lol.
