Failed the MOT

Yep, it failed. I need advice on the issue it failed on if anyone is technically minded.

Ummm....

How do I fill up the windscreen washer bottle?

Actually, on a serious note, it did get an advisory that the rear nearside wheelbearing could do with being changed. Anyone got any hints where to get one and is it a simple job to change?

Its an easy job (40 mins) and you can find a guide by Alan in the guides area of Fiat Forum.

You need to make sure you get the ABS rear bearing if your B has ABS.

Daft question (as I think I know the answer) but do you have ABS? If so I have a bearing in the garage - bought it as an ABS bearing but arrived as a non-ABS one, never been able to get back in touch with the seller!

I know your in pain Lee but that doesn't make sense?

In other words you thought you bought an ABS wheel bearing but it was a non ABS one when it arrived so you have a spare NON ABS bearing.......yes?

Cheers Doc. Will take a look for Alan's guide.

Mine has ABS LRB - but like Alan, I think you're saying you have a non ABS one? If it is an ABS one, then if you want to sell? Take it there's no difference between the nearside and offside bearings?

You can find a few ABS rear bearings on ebay.de m8

Any idea what Rear wheelbearing is in German? Tried babelfish but that didnt work!

Just re-read the post, yes I have a rear bearing for a non-ABS car!

Seems a bit dear?

Seems to be the correct name expensive unless a pair, But I would always do them in pairs anyway...

Also searched or Punto HGT etc but they are no cheaper and about £38 in this country for 1

I have a new one lying around if you need one in a hurry , just replace it sometime soon
try this link or phone them had a few things from them http://www.onlineautomotive.co.uk/search_results.php?

They should really be replaced in pairs.....

cheers Ricky, thanks for the offer but no rush.

How come change in pairs?

If one goes its been on the car the same time as the other so its just a question of time , i have been lazy bought 2 just changed the noisy 1 thats why i have 1 lying around

The nearside ones usually go first. Something to do with our obsession with roundabouts in this country

Pretty much as Ricky says, but it's also a moving part and all moving parts that are symetrical should be replaced at the same time to make sure the best ballance is always attained. Same for brake pads, calipers, shocks, tie rods, steering arms, etc etc.
