little at a time, tbh the first week for driving alone was super rough TBH which shook me.
Just trying to work out which bolt I need, I know its bolt used for the DPF mounting, any idea the best palce to find out the size of it ?

There is a missing bolt in the engine bay from what I think is the mounting for cover for the DPF cover ? I've made image and photo of there the missing bolt is

I'm finding it hard to find out what size of bolt I need to get
Hi not that I've noticed it any worse or better in a particular direction just the sound becomes noticeable at/after 30mph+, I don't much good bit of flat road for me to try this safely at speed. If I have a chance ill take it to the local P&R when everyone gone home over the weekend
Don't worry about that
Makes a bloody racket lol. Anyways the car is in the shop tomorrow and they said they put a bolt in.
Its odd the sound only gets worse with speed rather than turning in a particular direction
I recently had a similar problem that I thought was a wheel bearing, turns out the tyre had a bump on it where it must have been damaged on a pothole or something. It made a rumbling noise that was only really noticeable at speed and the faster I went the louder it got.
how did you find out ?

Haven't you already confirmed
Odd in what way?
No I've not, its going in tomorrow
Odd that everyone I've shown the video to says its a wheel bearing but it doesn't get worse turning the wheel in a particular direction only speed it seems.
I don't know much about cars and don't have any experience to fall back on so I don't know anything for sure.

If you've jacked the car up and spun the wheel a dodgy wheel bearing will be fairly obvious.
It'll be equally noisy in both directions.

I was going to but since its going In tomorrow I didn't bother as i've never jacked up a car before.
From my research it tends to be worse in a single direction if a single bearing is on its way out.

If a bearing is properly noisy at the speeds you can safely reverse a car at then it's completely ******!
what ?

Can be also diff making a racket esp if someones been driving in too higher gear all the time.
What was result?
Had it in yesterday, it was the front right Wheelbearing , I got them to do a oil and oil filter change and replace some missing bolts holding the shield for the DPF which was leading to racket.
£224 in total.
Rest of the car is solid they said so I should be good for a little while. This was a garage next door to my work which was recommend by colleagues, neighbours and my local town Facebook group.
First time 3-4 weeks I've had the car I can here the turbo woosh lol, sounds like a different car now.
