set off again, just before M1 J18, Graham's Challenger developed a bad knock from front right side, pulled over, a quick check revealed excessive play front right hub and the wheel was hot, suspect bearing, managed to limp off the motorway, got the wheel and hub nut off and the bearing was indeed buggered, a few enquires with people at the Pod to try and get a bearing came to no avail so the car was RAC'd home, these old cars eh ...
