It seems our old Mk1 car is starting to die. It is having a new front spring fitted at this very moment as the old one had just snapped and was about to penetrate the tyre :eek:, but more worrying is the news that the mechanic thinks one of the bearings in the rear beam axle is shot 
and we will need a new one (or rather one from a scrappy). He has rebuilt one before but isn't keen to repeat the experience and said it didn't work for long anyway as the actual casing is usually shot not just the needle roller bearings.
Anyone done this job / got any experience with this problem?
The car's done 125000 miles now and has numerous scrapes and signs of age and many bits no longer work, but has had about £2000 spent on it over the past couple of years keeping it on the road.
I'm getting to the end of my tether with it tbh....
