    I have the same issue mate except nearside rear, putting it down to a wheel bearing, as i have had the same tyres on for a year now and no noise 6 months ago , again my MOT is April

    I got my previous one for £65 from ebay,
    Hardest part is getting the drive shaft out, but its simple enough to do

    Hardest bit for me was getting the hub assembly out, the abs ring was locked into the hub carrier with corrosion
