Which would you prefer:

| You need a fairly massive press to replace the actual bearings, or you can do what I did and replace the whole hub assembly and the whole thing can be done in under an hour. |

Can I assume this ULEZ applies to buses, lorries, coaches, rivercraft, helicopters, ambulances, fire engines, etc, etc, etc?
Or is it simply aimed at us defenceless private car users? |
