Is it to change the wheel bearing? Never done one before an am only an amateur mechanic, been quoted £60 to have it done but could do with savin some money and doin the job myself. Also how much will it cost me to buy one?

Right I checked the bearing, and also got a garage to check it but couldn't find anyting. Any ideas what else it could be. Its kind of a rubbing noise that occurs when i turn right.

no it sounds just as if the bearin has gone, exactly the same, which is why i am confused it isnt that. Its not the brake pads mate if thats what u were thinkin they're only a month old.

No i wasnt thinking brake pads. Ive had weird rubbing noises before on mine, it turned out to be that really thin bit of metal that sits just on the inside of the brake disk.
I think its there to stop little stones etc going ointo the caliper, on mine it had got bent by something and was just touching the disk. Worth a look as its such a simple thing.
