    Thanks for the info. I've had a "wheel bearing" noise for a couple of months. It doesn't vary when cornering so I was starting to worry it could be a diff bearing. In fact it still could be. It sounds like a bearing though as it's not a constant noise, has a break in the repetitive noise that sounds like a defect in the bearing race. I need to get the car up on axle stands and see if I can feel any play in a wheel, or if that bake tab could be the culprit, or hear a noisey diff with the wheels turning.....

    This must be the month for bearing(?) issues.

    Mine has started to give a moany squeak when turned reasonably sharply at 5-25mph speeds, as you do on urban street corners and roundabouts. Hard to tell if it's from front or rear when driving (and with the Xpowers!) so I'm waiting for it to get bad enough to diagnose.

    I'll check those pad tabs but otherwise can anyone tell me where to get rear wheel bearings from please, in case that turns out to be it? I'm guessing the fronts are as for the 190?
