Front wheel bearing

[Beaky]

At the recent OPC free car check was told one of my front wheel bearing needed adjustment.


I didn't know that Carrera wheel bearing could be adjustment thought like most cars when they wore needed replacement.

Anyway if they can is this a DIY jobby, or best handed over to my local Indie (JAZZ)

Is it making a noise when driving (rummble) when's your MOT due? the tester will know if its ok. Or take it to an indi let them check it. I wouldnt worry to much, I went for the free check and was told the same even though I had adjusted them myself the weeek before (to spec), they also told me I needed new pads and discs "which I dont"
