Gen1's have notoriously weak wheel bearings.They are noted for regular failures and are usually identified by a droning sound whilst driving.Not massively expensive to fix.....just a pain!


Look out guys it’s him that thinks he’s in charge!

:text-yeahthat: Looking at about £20-£25 for a bearing and around £40 quid in labour. Unless your local garage is a ripoff - in which case - don't go there. Do NOT attempt a front bearing change unless you have a beefy hydraulic press. It's a giant waste of time (believe me, I tried).

Rears aren't so bad as you replace the whole hub.
