Hi all,
First post following my purchase of my 2001 1.4 SE in Feb 2009 and subsequently finding this site.
I had my first trip in a year to a local independent mechanic for a replacement spring on the drivers side.
Spring replaced all sorted however the mechanic pointed out an issue. He explained that their appeared to be a part missing in the central hub of the wheel on the drivers side..
I have attached a picture of the passenger side front wheel and am trying to identify what the part/bit is in the picture that is attached. The piece in question is the circle one silver/grey thick looking thing. I have labelled one picture with an arrow..
The drivers side where it is missing is just blank with nothing in it. There is a bit of rust in their which makes it sound like it has missing for some time..
Mechanic said he had not seen something like this before but said it was some sort of 'Spline' bolt?
Can anyone help identify what it is called? and where would I get such a thing?
Is it a serious problem? Ive had no driving issues and have recently travelled to Paris from Gatwick and back a 700 odd mile round trip with no issues!
If its not very clear do let me know and I will try and explain more..
Thanks for reading..
Manny
