(Its a 2006 1.6 petrol)

I took it to Halfords for them to have a look and they said it was the offside wheel bearing. So £256 later they replaced it and guess what? Made no difference. Not best pleased.

They did say I had an 'out of shape' tyre so I jacked it up and spun the wheels and I cant see anything, they seem to be completely round. They also said it was road noise but im confident it isnt that as it only happens at relatively low speed. At 70mph its quieter if anything! :confused:

Needless to say im taking it back but im wondering if anyone else has had experience of this and can advise on the potential cause.
