As some of you may know, my 19 td is off the road at the moment, I need a new front nearside wheel bearing, how much should I look at paying for one?

there are 2 types of wheel bearings for the r19 on gsf catalogue , one is £16.50 the other is £22 .
the nearest one to you is in cardiff .
going to cardiff on penarth rd turn left from land rover garage and right to bessemer road (think its the 3rd one on the right) and you will see gsf on ur left about 100meters away

cheers Ben! lol just something I fancied doing for a while now. How are the wing mirrors doing Schakal? I got shitty manual ones on mine, wouldn't mind electric ones, how much did you pay for them?

are you going to change the bearing yourself ?
