no m8 defenatly from drivers side front

try taking the wheel bearing up tighten all the way up then back it off untill it spins free - see if it alters the noise but if it is that it'll probly need new bearings in

anyway wheres the pics of this van

its had new bearings 2 weeks ago and again yesterday on drivers side after changing the hub as new bearing desintegrated on m1 spent 6 hours on watford gap services wednesday (at least the sun was shining lol) waiting for m8 to bring spare hub big credit to central moter factors from northampton they deliverd new bearings to us with no delivery charge. mrs tried to put van pics on but failed miserably (you may just see it on ebay if things dont get sorted with it as im getting really fed up with it )

when you jack it up is there any play in the wheel sometimes when fitting the bearings they dont seat right and as they get used they seat correctly but then the gap is too much

[Luke]

does the noise alter when you go on/off the accelerator

no play in bearings noise still their even when coasting im gonna try some new brake pads in case the other ones are just touching the disc but they look ok . never had so much trouble with somthin so stupid. the last 3 days spent out nearly 400 quid and still not rite i want another mk 2 at least itll be a real transit
