your thoughts on this wheel bearing?

i need two front wheel bearings on my disco, im not going to fork out £250 for a genuine and im not going to buy ****part so what do you guys reckon to this

apparently it has a wabco sensor and a timken bearing which is what the genuine is?

Discovery 2 TD5 V8 Front or Rear Hub OEM wheel bearing on eBay (end time 29-Jan-11 23:33:47 GMT)

cheap?

Yes it's cheap but it has Been made up by quality bearings and sensors?

What you reckon it's no good?

The guy has got good feedback and you do have some protection on ebay - probably right up till when you use it! His history shows hes sold others and buyers have been happy. In your position I'd probably give him a go.

God thats scary seeing how a 1 axle set for a 200/300 is around £40. Like said above thou seems to have good feedback and other that have bought seems happy go for it lol

Go for it

It certainly looks like it's worth a go to me - I would buy it if I had need.

I for one will be very interested in how you get on with these, as I might be doing the same in the near future.

Just had a look around. I have already replaced two TAY100060 front wheel bearings (at about 94,000 miles), and also one of the rear bearings (one rear bearing is still original at 174k miles). I'll bet I'm not far off another expensive wheel bearing soon!

There's a lot of the LR parts suppliers now offering pattern-parts for TAY100060 - when I needed one last time, I called Ashcroft Transmissions and asked if they could consider an advance-replacement for reconditioned parts of these - that sounds like a great business opportunity to me!

I for one would suggest it's worth a go. Assuming you're saving one-third of the cost it's worth a try...if you get over 60,000 miles you're onto a winner.

Just for info - I got an ACE filter from Jaguar | Land Rover spare parts at British Parts UK for £26.78 inc VAT and shipping. When it arrived it was OEM! The local Land Rover stealer wanted £52.70 inc VAT for the same part. There are some good deals with OEMs to be had if you shop around. These hubs look like one of them.
