Alright mate. Yeah I had a wheel bearing go a few months back and it cost me (or my warranty provider) Â£100 quid fitted by an independent garage. Apparently they're so expensive because you have to buy the entire hub or something.................

Â£49.99 + VAT.

and yes- includes the hub hence is expensive.
