  1. well it may be the case that both bearings were out but he only replaced one... but from your description the issue clearly isnt the rear of the car so quite why he didnt think to do the front too i dont know... but hopefully it will just be that and you'll be back to normal again... and a hose is also a nice quick fix too as long as you can get hold of another one!! lol. Keep us updated and give us a shout if you need anything.
  2. It sounds like it could be your wheel bearing on its way out,, thats the sorta noise it makes.... this can be checked like said before by jacking the car up and giving the wheel a pull about, if there is movement in it then that would point to it being that.... As for the coolant leak, that is def not a small one!! lol. that could well explain the smoke as it is on the passenger side and if the smoke doesnt smell like oil then thats a good explaination for it. Is the leak coming from the bottle or one of the hoses?
  3. I might do mate... might pop along with my boyfriend as ill be with him sunday, but might drag him out... have to see how it goes. ill give you a shout if i can make it.

  5. NIIIIIIIGE!!! He's back! :D Missed you!! And yes Ben, i wanna see this dash too,,,, and im very excited about my phone.
  6. Yeah could well be hun... just to make sure open the bonnet up when its running and have a little look around and a good sniff for anything untoward, get someone to rev the engine too while you're there just in case, but dont think thats anything major...
  7. awwww ben you know im jokin... even you arent THAT gay!! lol
  8. i would have thought that would be right down your street ben
  9. normally a wheel bearing thats getting worn is a whirring noise... it could be something to do with your steering rack, but i think the best bet is get under it, have a good look around, give the wheels a tug and see if anything is not as it should be...
  10. Have you had you wheel balance checked? Have a look to see if any weights have fallen off, or have you hit a kerb or pothole badly recently... also im guessing the wheels have been checked to make sure they're done up properly... might be worth jacking the front wheel off the floor, then try pulling the wheel about to see if there is movement in it... check both sides at the front. Could even just be something as simple as your inner arch is lose and is catching on the wheel, so check the plastic inner arch is attached properly...
  11. where is this noise coming from? is it coming from the engine or the wheels (front or back)

  15. yeah, he's a good old boy... i did my chains with him one saturday... its great... you get to learn a lot about your engine while you're there too!! :) Might be worth chucking in a new clutch at the same time as it comes off anyway, thats if yours is original and done a lot of miles!!
