[cander08]

just noticed a droning noise coming from the rear of my 172 cup. i think its a wheel bearing what u think. gonna take it to a local garage n c whatthey say any ideas how much they cost.

Def the wheel bearings mate. Means new disc's both sides. May as well do the pads while your at it. Circa £250 for the parts + fitting.

Look in the guides section on here for a guide.

Doesnt mean new discs. You can get the bearing on its own. Remove disc, press out old press in new and refit.

Bearing is around £30 plus fitting.

Aye-i had mine done for me recently on the 1.6 as no bearing press. Quick enough job by Andy at Birchdown.

You'll love it when you get it sorted and lose the annoying drone. Mine was sounding like a bloody landrover! :dead:

Renault may not sell the bearing seperatly. But you can get FAG bearings from your local factor which is OE quality.
