My front wheel bearings were noisy but now I've fitted a CD/MP3 player I can't hear them any more.

I'd get your squeeks seen to pretty quickly.
I use to be like you guys till one day I had a friend in the car, she asked what the noise was and I had just finished telling her that I thought it was the wheel bearing when suddenly, BANG!! I was going through a round-a-bout and the wheel locked up and I slid and screeched to a halt

No I was a tight arse and risked doing more damage by forcing it home (rather than pay for a tow

). It was like driving on a flat tyre on a square wheel...I'd imagine
