Took my hippo in for an mot test a week early just in case of any problems, but I'm pleased to say it passed with no advisories, not bad for an 03 car!!

Did you fit a new gkn vcu or a reconditioned unit? The reason I ask, is that I have recently had a reconditioned vcu fitted, and there seems to be quite a bit of resistance when parking using full lock.

Thanks Oldyam i'll have a closer look, weather permitting. With regards to tyres causing a duff wheel bearing noise, I thought I had a wheel bearing gone, changed all four tyres as they needed doing, and the noise disappeared!!
