found out today it wasnt a bent hub but we replaced it anyways, i didnt use genuine bearing but cheap imitations from like tms dingbro eurocar parts etc etc, and it was done about 2 weeks ago and they had came loose from the hub (which in turn destroyed it and could have sent my alloy flying) very dangerous.rectified one side to find the other side was the same, paid almost £400 for a new instument cluster and i still have issues, something wrong with the steering also. im raging! putting out soo much money on this car and its not getting me anywhere.

Bad news as I really like these Fabias..... Could just be a wrong'un!? (Although I know this doesn't help one bit!)

ideally dont want rid of it but we shall see. im fearing that 2nd had steering rack i put on has became :censored: already. were unsure but the sterring wasnt good at all today and we fear the seals may have gone, we will fire on a genuine bearing and go from there. got 312mm setup coming but thats not going on till we get it running correctly, for some reason the trip computer is well out, reading 4.5mpg average :/ hopefully just because the abs sensor isnt registering due to bearing
