The rear left wheel bearing has just been replaced again (This time, by my own specialist in Holland) The rear left was grinding when I picked up the car from the UK, so it is safe to assume that the "Specialist" in the UK didn't manage to torque the wheel bearing correctly when they installed the new one on this side....

Considering the damage to the original wheel bearings was done when the "Engine Specialists" decided to drive it over to the other "Specialists" because they had decided that it was too low to get onto a transporter (Even though I had the car transported to them from Holland on a transporter) and not realising that the drive shafts were not torqued so that the rotors and wheels did their best to leave the car on the drive over to the "Specialists" (The calipers were the only thing that stopped this.) ... I think it safe to assume that they may have damaged the thread during this action and hence, when the "Specialist" torqued the nut, it stuch with some play still left and hence this new bearing is also FUBAR.

Because this has now entered the "Small Claims Court" phase, I will be creating a section on one of my web servers, which will contain as much information and history as possible. I am still waiting for the car to come back from my people here in Holland, so that I can translate and post the contents of their report into the rotor/bearing/caliper/handbrake cable fiasco and will post a link here, to my page.

Naming and shaming will be done on my website, for legal reasons. ;-)
