Title: Newbie from...Orkney!
Post by: Grieve on March 16, 2011, 11:07:22 PM
Hi, joined a few weeks ago as I just bought a FC Turbo II!  :wave  Will hopefully put some pictures up when the weather improves.

Inevitably, I\'ve hit some problems already.  Namely 2 in particular - a distinct lack in wipers and I need new wheel bearings.  Where is best to get wheel bearings?!  I have been quoted a local price of £350 for a front wheel bearing...?!?!

Regards, David

Have you tried any of the advertisers in the banner at the top of the home page? I can recommend MRP from expeariance although I am sure all of them will help you out as best as they can.
The wipers is a common problem with the FC. Easiest fix is to get a switch off someone who is braking a car. Just note that the Cab and coupe ones are different.

Cheers Tiddles.  I have looked on every website this site advertises with no luck!  Haha.  Anyone got any ideas...?  Any help will be greatly appreciated!  Or even a rough price, if I have to pay £350 for a front wheel bearing then I\'ll just have to bite the bullet...

Hi David and welcome to MRC,

Front wheel bearing are adjustable but if you need a wheel bearing kit it should cost around £65-£70

This should help when you come adjust or change them

(yes I know it says rear but this link covers the fronts as well)

Ah, thankyou much Clive!  Shall have a look at them with that link in mind this weekend.  If I need to get bearings, where is a good place to try?  I\'ve googled and trawled through all the sites advertised here to no avail!  I apologise for asking 20 questions, but I am a total newbie!!
