Just wanting to see if anyone has any thoughts and experience...i know a few on here have owned blingblings or the Pug Partner...
A very good friend of mine has a 2000 Berlingo 1.9nad van
Mileage is 124k.
Its generally looked after...I maintain it...passed its MOT recently no problems.
He has had what sounds like a front nearside wheel bearing noise for some time...but theres no play in it, it doesnt change with direction or temperature and with wheels off ground theres no grumble or tightness from either front wheel bearings...or the rears for the matter...I kinda hoped the MOT may find it, but they said all bearings were fine.
Now, the noise has got worse last few days.
Basically a bad bearing drone which changes with vehicle speed but not engine speed, and no difference if its in any gear or coasting.
leads me to believe its diff bearings???
second thought is, does a XUD gearbox fit? I have one spare and me mate is super skint at the moment
any help appreciated
