A long while I haven't given any information about my admiral.
Now that I'm relieved I can make a briefing.
Matt - @
DMGRS - sent me the bearings I had ordered last month.
My mechanic did the job as soon as he had got the stuff, but was puzzled by the look of it, no protection of the magnetic ring and not any distinctive side. At the first glance he thought they were not ABS ones. But he did the job.
Bad luck: no longer any ABS, neither speedometer nor odometer!
The other guess but rather unlikely: it might have been damaged during the journey.
Matt was nice and knowing the result sent me another set of bearings.
I waited, I waited, I waited, the parcel tracking being oddly stuck somewhere before the border and obviously the second set was lost by the carrier and it never arrived!
Facing that new issue Matt was very fair and sent me a third set of bearings!
Very carefully packed, each of them in its proper box, wrapped in a kraft paper, and the tracking was as clear and efficient as it should be. Moreover the parcel arrived very quickly. Brilliant.
And icing on the cake, the bearing were obviously ABS ones, with their unmissable ash grey magnetic ring, both side being different at first glance.
So my meticulous mechanic was very pleased, did the job and hurray this time it works fine at last.
But he showed me that the first pair had been correctly assembled by himself in the first place.
So only painful downside: I have to pay a second time a nearly full morning job, that is nearly £100 too much at my own expense... [IMG]file:///home/aurejac/TEMPOR2/forums.mg-rover.org/images/smilies/wtf.gif[/IMG]
But I'm definitely relieved and my lovely admiral can now drive tall on the open roads without being banned. That's the point. Happy end.
