Hi, the worn wheel bearings are a Frequently Asked Failure, they go at 30K ish...

They sound like a cross between a spring bouncing up and down and a mouse stuck in your wheels.

Usual solution - get the haynes out or shell out ( but remember refitting is a reversal of removal)

sos for reply but wine has an effect.

I can see the top of my car in the car park...

A wheel bearing will give off a whirring noise before it totally fails, you should be able to hear it driving with the stereo off or by jacking the car up and spinning the wheel

Roughy what is the costs of replacement? and is it a easy DIY job for the mechical minded person?

£30 for a bearing, the hub comes with it. You just take the brake drum off, undo the big hub nut, slide the old bearing/hub off and slide the new one on. You don't need to press any bearings out or anything, it's that simple. Just as well 'cos they don't last long!!
