It looks like a classic case of over tightening and lack of lubrication to me.
i thought that
ive had britpart bearings for over a year with no issues at all, not even had the need to adjust them. I do at least 200 miles a week in the car too i thought that

Nowt wrong with britpart stuff.
Its just as good, if not better than the cheapo "drivetec" stuff you get for all other makes from motor factors.
It would seem to me a lot of britpart problems on here are not really britparts fault.....more of a Ive read how to do it on the net so Im an expert....and ####ed up the fitting kinda problem

I returned a starter without any problems at all and got a new one even before I removed the old one and brought it back
Turned out it wasn't actually the starters fault either but still nice to know there would be no issues if it was the problem.
I've went through a wheel bearing in two weeks but that was just me expecting too much of it and tightened it too much to get rid of even the slightest bit of play. Other bearings have lasted nearly a year with no issues and that's with big negative offset wheels too.
Sure, the quality isn't brilliant but for the price of the parts I think they're grand really and a friend that stocks alot of their stuff has pretty much anything I need on the shelf so don't have to wait for anything either (very handy when a part fails alll of a sudden for no reason lol)
