hi

can anyone help! i have alloy wheels on my bus, and the 'centre cap cover' on the driver side has come off, i did manage to get another one but this has also been lost somewhere on the road side :( i have been told that i should really keep it covered or else it will damage my wheel bearings! but any ideas how to keep it on :idea:

So long as it has the grease cap on the end of the hub covering the nut/thrust washer etc it'll be fine.

It's not the 'hub' you've lost, that has a brake disc and wheel attached to it. Yes you need to get a replacement grease cap.

Post a Wanted ad in the Wanted Forum, stating the year of your van ... hopefully one of the van dismantlers will happen across you.
