Rear Wheel Bearings

[plastic orange]

Just had to fit a new bearing kit to the N/S rear of my MK4. Couldn't believe the rip off price in this country compared to bringing in from the US. If I'd had any sense (hindsight) I'd have ordered 2 sets and saved myself a fortune. I also had to buy a new hub - £200 + vat from Lexus - less than $50 in the states.

Better planning for me in the future - my tip of the day lol

Total cost of MOT this year was £825 - rear discs, pads, handbrake shoes and fitting kit, sensor wire plus aforementioned bearing and hub. Labour was mates rates at a friend's MOT station, otherwise it would have been a shocker. 2 new tyres needed soon too - again.

I'm off to Florida in April, so I may investigate bringing back some soon to be needed parts.
