noise from rear left wheel, started about 4 days ago, gets louder as I go faster, like a loud droaning noise. would it be wheel bearing? and how long can I leave it before I get it sorted?

Bearing or Brakes binding maybe?

Rule out the window being open slightly, had that myself a while ago.

If it is bearing don't leave it too long incase the race collapses, a worn bearing places stress in the hub. Hopefully it is nothing but get it checked by jacking the car up, use axle stands, then grab the wheel at 6 o'clock and see if there is any play.

Yeh its the bearing. The bearings come as part of a hub so its dearer to buy but easy to fit.

I second that, I did the 2 front ones, it was a bit of a mission, I only did them cos I fitted lengthened wheel studs.

will jack it up and have a look, ive still got warranty on the car, so hopefully that will cover that if I need to pop down to the garage.

My wheel bearing is on its way out too. Funnily enough it's on the nearside rear as well.

I have the AA's Breakdown Repair Cover, so it only cost me ?25, but I think the garage price was around ?125.
