You say it's failed on drivers wheel bearing mine failed on that 2 years ago but it was actually the king pin that had gone just the guy doing the mot didn't know about the jims, with the breaks could you not just get away with just pads if you need to? But as you was quoted that price I'm assuming that's at the place you had it tested so try a different garage for a price and see if they come cheaper? Or do it yourself if it is the king pins it's an easy job to do yourself on your drive

Bit less grumpy today. I've just ordered the bits to do the King Pin bearings and the pads and discs. I have made arrangements for my pet mechanic to do the work in exchange for sausage sandwiches and beers. The garage will have to do the brake pipes though.
Then I shall pray for summer floods and lots of work on mud-fest sites so that I have an excuse to use it :woohoo:

Jimny passed its MOT this morning 
Total cost £84.43 as pet mechanic man did the brake pipes too and we changed the discs although they were only an advisory. Hmm, maybe I should learn some of this mechanical shenaniganning...
