WANTED: nearside front hub

As my local garage has bent my TZD's passenger side front hub, I need a secondhand one, complete with the bearing.

Does anyone in the West Mids/welsh borders have one. I am travelling to Welshpool and Shrewsbury over the weekend if that makes any difference.

I take it that they have denied responsibility, hence the request?

Hell's teeth!

I'd love the know the story behind this ........... and why the garage aren't the ones scuttling about trying to locate a replacement.

[quote="RKM"]The garage replaced a wheelbearing a year ago and told me that one hell of a lot of pressure was needed to get it out. On driving the car afterwards, it felt as though a brake disc was warped. Sadly, I needed the car for work, so did not return to the garage, thinking that it just was not worth the bother.

Discs replaced but light juddering was still there under braking. Now the bearing has gone noisy again, so I presume that the extra stress has 'taken it out'.

So, situation explained and back to the request, anyone got one hanging about?

Is this an ABS one? and I take it it's a TZD turbo? I'm pretty sure I have a n/s front hub but doubt it will be an ABS one.

There is/was a TZD Turbo estate in Ruabon breakers (HK Motors) near Wrexham a few months back. It's in an area of the yard with a slow turnover, and has been there at least a year so chances are it's still there. I *think* it had ABS although I can't be certain...

Ooh, y'know I don't think it did, but could be wrong... You took some pics of the inner wings tho didn't you, perhaps these will show if it has a ABS block?

I stand (well actually sit) corrected...no ABS I'm afraid. May be useful for other bits however if you're in the area.
