New MOT today.. had the new rear shocks fitted. Originally failed on a rear brake cylinder & drive shaft seal - £20 for parts so happy with that.. once again rear wheel bearing advisory. OSR brake hose slight corrosion & fuel pipe slight corrosion.. will get this done in a few weeks. Nice compliments off the garage & a cheeky one about no fingerprints lol.

Good to hear it's got another 12 months MOT.

It's usual for advisory on rear wheel bearing, was it because they could feel a little play in the wheel or was it a noisy bearing?
The nut holding the drum on are only just nipped up, I now put my wheel back on with a couple of bolts and nip up the bearing nut till there is just about no play, sometimes it's a matter of a couple of degrees of turn. I do sometimes still get an advisory.
Don't go mad and over tighten them as that's just as bad as being to lose and they bearing will wreck it self in no time.
