Thank you for the replies and Artic for his wonderful photos as usual.

It is indeed that tab that has broken and I have never seen a broken one either.
There is no obvious wear or burning of any sort and as I replaced the last one 8 years ago, the torque would have been correct.

I can feel the bearing is damaged (high spot) and am sure that the bits from the broken tab have over time damaged the bearing, it would not take much after-all.

Strange that not all wheel bearing thrust washer have the tab, I do wonder why as well really.

New one available from Rimmers at £2.40 and £6 for quicker delivery...

Thanks for the replies guys.
