Hi,

The bearings on my hub need replacing and by the time they have been replaced (specialist job requiring a press and services of a local mechanic - ouch!), it stands to be rather expensive.

I can do a complete hub assembly change myself ..... a straight-forward spanner job.

So, on the offchance - if anyone has a complete offside hub assembly (inc bearings in working order) kicking about and lives no more than 50-odd miles from me (Herts) I'd be happy to exchange it at reasonable cost for some coin of the realm, or a crate of beer etc. If it needs taking off a car, I may be able to to that as well (so long as I don't forget any tools!)

Apparently, the hub is interchangeable with many stilo models, inc a 1.2 and 16v petrol ....

Alternatively, if you know someone who has one available, perhaps on a car that's about to meet its maker in "scrap heaven" ... please let me know ....

Mail me on [email protected] or ring me on 0791 3064760 and I'll arrange to pick it up asap

Thank you ...

Neil

strip it down and take hub and new bearing to the garage shouldnt be more than 20 quid to get it pressed in, cheaper if you can get the old one out your self.

Already considered that .... a new bearing is fifty-odd quid, plus the cost of getting it pressed in ....

Plus, I lose use of the car while it's being done and have to get the hub to a garage .... nearest one, ten miles away with no transport.

A complete hub with s/h bearing will cost much less and solves more problems than it creates.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
