/help My local sui garage has just quoted me £153+vat for a front wheel bearing.. This sounds extremely high to me and I'm sure I can find a better price elsewhere... Any ideas? Any other supplier I can pry.... :thumbsup:

Not sure if it's the same, but on a VR4 it comes as a whole hub assembly....hence the price !

Yep, £180.85 inc vat, i know 'cos i've just lashed out for one for mine. As far as i can tell, its a complete sod (if not impossible) to remove the old bearings.
The £153 is for the whole hub!

Lessons to be learned.... fortunatley I managed to get the SUI garage to replace under warranty as I have only covered 32K.. Tough negotiation with Colt warranty, but got there in the end.. thanks for all your feedback.
