Hi last night the front left wheel bearing completely failed on my 2004 road sport. Im in gloucester and need to be able to drive it back for Monday. Unfortunately I'm not a member of blatchat so can't post there yet but if anyone knows of somewhere in the area I could source a new one or can offer any help then much appreciated.

Thanks
Henry

Where's the whoosh parrot thingy when you need it?

I don't think there is one as the previous poster seems to be a bit of a knob.

The front uprights come from a triumph herald

So the front bearings, discs and pads all fit when you are in a corner

Not from an '04 they don't, the stub axle is a different shape/size

Thanks for help. It looks like it could set me back the wrong side of 500 smackers as the axle stubs needs changing, they think the brake discs will need changing and maybe even pads. I've had a look on Caterham.co.uk and the discs (10") are £150 each, is there a way to do this cheaper?
