Today I checked the rear bearings to start with and found the o/s/r to be the issue. To make it a quick job , I rang the local ECP where I get a trade discount and choked at the price of £70 . I opened the box at the counter to find oily finger prints over the new part . As it was the only one in stock I said I'll chance it but I'm not happy.
I cleaned the back plate corrosion, fitted the part and went for a road test. The abs light was on within 10 feet ! I went for a drive anyway and the drone had gone but I came straight home and removed the part and refitted my old one again and headed back to the shop to complain and the abs light went out.
I got a refund and will order a hub from another supplier  |
Hub arrived from DMGRS with some sweeties and was cheaper than than ECP even with postage and has a 2 year guarantee and with a new cap and nut.
Worked straight out of the box with no ABS issue or noise
Bacon saved yet again by DMGRS
