Not a good week. Burst radiator, now failed it's MOT on:
1. Wheel bearing rough
2. Drag link end ball joint - excessive play
3. Track rod end ball joint excessive play
MOT'd at LR Parts in Liverpool, who my Landy owing friends use and recommend and they said you can't get just the bearings for the P38 and you have to change the whole hub - something about not being able to remove the wheel studs I think they said. But you clearly can get them, both Timkin from Island 4x4 and also from Britpart.
Is there a reason they would recommend the whole hub? They have a big garage so I assume they have a bearing press.
Out of that list, what is a DIY job I can do at home and what should I leave the garage to do? I've never done any of the above, but I guess I could replace a full hub assembly myself (as I've had it off to do axle seals), but not a bearing as I have no press...
tnx
