May 2009 at 13:17 I note you have not done the nearside rear wheel bearing. That is the one I have had trouble with for some reason on a number of past Vauxhall's, so thinking about sods law I just wonder if that could be the continuing cause as of course it would be the last one to be replaced / overhauled!

Nearside front is the most common to cause issues and my theory is that it's the side that gets the most abuse on roundabouts. Although, a wheel bearing is more of a hum than a growl.

Mine might be going for the exact opposite reason -- don't do enough to justify the car (the fact that I spent a lot of time car bound was the excuse I used to get motoring in luxury!). Now the mileage I do is laughable -- literally to the office and back -- not good for the old girl.
