Well I know its been a while but I feel I should share the story about the day I had a new wheel bearing hub fitted by a garage in Bingham. We were on a touring holiday and this was the day we had to move on to a new site.
Picked up the car job all done, however informed abs light is now on?!?!. As we were on holiday an had to change sites that day I elected to take the car and rectify ABS sensor on my return home in Crawley Sussex.
On arriving home, three weeks after arriving home, planning time, got the wheel off the ground slid under to have a look. SHOCK!!!, The garage in Bingham had manage to fit a near side wheel bearing hub to the off side wheel. so the abs sensor is now located to the rear of the bearing and no where near the its locating hole.
Garage informed, photo's sent. After some strange noises and groans, blame was put on supplier ( Rimmer Bros ) for sending the wrong part.
The fitter, I presume was blind and having a bad day not to notice the abs holes did not line up as he fitted the near side wheel bearing hub to the off side of my car, when the abs light would not go away he still failed to notice that the abs sensor was fitted incorrectly, only half way in.(the holes were not lined up, 90 degrees out).
The fix was that the garage supplied me with a new wheel bearing from Rimmer Bros and returned all my money (the garage bill). I had to remove the incorrect part and fit the new one. the abs sensor had to be replaced as it had some damage????? (caused I guess by the Blind Fitter's hammer trying to get it into a hole which was not there).
I returned the wheel bearing hub to the garage as felt it was now damaged plus Rimmer Bros wanted it returned.
JUST THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET AN ENDDING TO A THREAD.
