I have had quotes and the are all 50 quid plus for one front nearside wheel bearing none abs! Someone on here said they'd be £25, just wondering if anyone can recomend where to buy one? Theres some on ebay but they are 40 quid not including postage, seems expensive..

ECP do a cheap front wheel bearing for £27 not including VAT.
I think i paid £65 for my last one.
You cant get non ABS hubs anymore, but it's just a simple castellated ring which can be removed if you wish.

front wheel bearings are part of the hub aswell.
I'd stay well clear of the £25 tat ones as they won't last. GSF sell FAG bearings for about £50 and are the OE bearing for the car. I've used them with no problems.

as above stay clear of the cheap ones but i paid around the £40 mark at gsf the price was no different whether you had the abs one or not and it is the complete hub on the front not just a bearing like the rears

im in agreement with simon on that. i bought a pair of the cheap £25 bearings from ECP ,complete with hub and abs ring and fitted them 2 weeks before the mot. both were noted as advisorys on the mot with a little play in each. i tried the QH brand from a motor factors @ £60 each and have had no problem since.easy job to do yourself as well.Simon13 wrote: I'd stay well clear of the £25 tat ones as they won't last.
