Just had to have my rear wheel bearings, both sides, replaced under warranty at 32600 miles!
Anyone else had this or is it a one off? :(

KJ, you get a rithmic drumming noise at varying speeds and by moving you head around the cockpit you can identify which corner its coming from.

Just had the front ones done at 32500 miles under warranty. Didn't even know there was anything wrong till the dealer told me...

or for the rears take the handbrake off and see if theres a lot of play when you wobble the wheel back and forth.

I reckon one or more of my wheel bearings are on the way out, due for the 25k inspection so should find out then!
