This is not good!...
Last week it was my ECU that went tits up, and I got that sorted and all was going fine over the weekend...
Now just on my way home from work, I get a screaming/screeching noise coming from the near side, sure its the rear. Stopped the car and could feel the heat when I put my hand near the alloy. Possibly ball bearing knackered now?

Ive only ran over one, and that was years ago in the Saxo. And ever since that the Saxo kept going wrong... I think were onto something here...
Any idea how to reverse the bad luck stuff?

Siezed Caliper is the most obvious reason for your wheel being hot... does it pull to one side or the other at all?
Strangly enough I have a brand new Rear ZS180 nearside Caliper sitting in my shed doing nothing....
