£35 sounds about right (I think I paid a little less with trade discount but not much)

BSL should have a local branch or try Berkshire Engineering Supplies on 0118 988 8885. Bought some m/bike wheel bearings from BSL 'cause I was
in a hurry @ £8.50 each + VAT. Berks. Eng. phoned back £2.80 each but 3 days delivery!!!!
Also try Googling wheel bearings if you know the ref. no. but watch out for min. order value.
Cheers, Pewe

The reason the price shocked me is last year i got new rear wheel bearings for my Land Rover Discovery and they were £4.75 + vat each!!! I also have
a 4x4 Mondeo with a noisy rear bearing. Dont think i will price that just now!!!

just be glad you don't have rear disc brakes, bearings are closer to £35 each then

I have posted a list of all the tapered roller bearing part numbers on here before so if you search you should find that. Then look in yellow pages
for bearing distributors and give them a ring. Alternatively, if there is one close to you try BRT bearings as they are a bearing distributor who
specialise in car applications.
