well, the bearing kit has arrived, and looks nothing like the one I ordered i.e. drop forged as recommended by Marinabrian. Mine is supposed to be SNR as in his first photo, but actually says FAG CN and F - 805925 02 and 2007 N 173 CT on it. I have yet to master adding photos to the forum, but here is a link to them:

This is not what I thought I ordered. Most unhappy. I have written to AutoDoc to complain and cancel the order. But as I need my car, I will have to fit this in the meantime - more needless expense! Someone from the Club told me this would happen...
To make the day complete, I received yet another speeding fine in the mail, this one from France, claiming I was doing 143 km/h....how could I go that fast with a knackered wheel bearing??
