it started last week noticed a droneing noise coming from the front ,as soon as u reach about 30mph it starts, and gets louder
any ideas i thought it was the tyres at first so i checked the tyre pressures all ok???now im thinking wheel bearing or front diff ????do they have one???or anything else???dont go off road and its done 27000 miles

Could be the wheel bearings. It's easy to check that yourself. Jack-up the car and grab the wheel from the top and bottom and see if there is any movement in the wheel when you do that.

I'm thinking wheel bearing as well.
Does the noise get louder or softer while making a long turn on the highway?

gets a bit louder the faster it goes,its booked in for a two year service so they will have to sort it out, aswell as the rattling noise from the engine when started from cold untill it warms up,been told its a faulty injector we will see

is it expensive to get the wheel bearings done,because i think i have the same problem.

Xtrailguy

Rear bearings cost around $120 for the bearing (if you get it at Nissan), plus labour charges.
