Wheel bearing
Had to replace front off side wheel bearing yesterday to pass its mot genuine parts and labor £150
The other side had a bit of play but wasn't bad enough to fail so I'll give it a couple of months and I'll change that one as well I think

I do. Got a price last Wednesday. £255 each side and even with max trade discount its still more expensive than the Timken OEM bearing. (Actually the dealer's buy in price is more)
Need to nip across to AF.

Wow that's to pricey,I've just be searching and found the price range is very wide which makes it confusing as to what quality your buying mine must be a OEM and I'll stick with that its mid range in price
so I'm happy with that there are some LR dealers sellin quality OEM cheaper than £90 Timkin are going for £119. I've seen a thread on here saying he had a quote for £700 from LR that's a joke on a good day with garage equipment it would take an 1 hours work

Had my front bearing done last week, waiting for the bill, 150 sounds ok, when jacked up the wheel was fairly shaky
