2006 Vehicle Mileage cc. 30K I think. I will check later. Another reason why I thought bearings unlikely. I have had one wheel bearing fail on an old mini back in 1974ish. We will see when I get the vehicle back whether the noise has gone.

Thanks for the data, I've looked at the bearing data and they are only small opposed taper rollers in a captive bearing shell, Cheap and cheerful as most car parts are these days, it's also a simple and easy replacement procedure, I might just consider replacing the brake drums at the same time as they are not expensive either.

bearings do go. vaux novas and corsa are renowned for knocking out rear bearings. i got so use to doing the it only use to take me 15-20 to do both sides micras with 14"+ alloys knock out bearings too one thing that puts me off on the note is the nyloc nuts on the hubs imho there a bad idea due to the heat and vibration - replace them every time you touch the hub Is the vibration/hum/grumble there all the time or is it at certain speeds ? have you had the wheels balanced or even swapped the wheels diagonally front to back ?

Noise has gone so it was the bearing CC £70 inc fitting & VAT so not too bad.
Thank you for the input. |

Thanks for the info , there's nothing more difficult to diagnose than a sound you cannot hear. Did you have both sides done or just the one?

Just the one, if we hear the noise again it will be to the garage again a lot quicker.
