   Had the Mot today and only failed on this, how do I fix it. The guy in the garage said that the bearing housing on the axel could have corroeded and you'd need a new axel - is this true as I have seen others mention a new beem?

   new axle is basically a new beam mate, pm IM axle they do rear beams and they can fit them, they did mine about a month ago and done a really good job

   they quote £275 on their webite for refurbed axle.
   less £25 exchange.
   
   fitting extra.
   
   google 'im axle'.
