As James says - you won't have much choice about the manufacturer of the Land Rover specific parts... you are wise to want to go for decent bearings though. Timken are great although to be honest they aren't neccesarily the best anymore. I used Timkens recently on my Jaguar Salisbury axle because they were the original spec. and I am a complete anorak. The best bearings money can buy these days are probably Koyo if you are lucky enough to be able to get them, otherwise SKF or NTN are superb.
I get mine from Quality Bearings Online who are very competitive on price and also give free postage.

I thought about searching for best price on individual items, but I think that's going to be a pain, will probably use LR parts or similar reputable dealer and get the lot in one hit if possible.

James. That's pretty impressive stuff. If I ever have a gearbox problem I know where to go.

Part no 219466 ordered as per book, but the new ones arrived in a clear bag with no part No or I'd. And they are smaller diameter, supplier says I can't send them back as they were a special order. As these were not cheap I need to know what's gone wrong. Original is one on the right

i though your box was suffix B which is the larger brg (599869) rather than the smaller suffix A (219466) which you have ordered

wickford90 · Nov 25, 2015

Yes, I ordered from the part No in the manual it didn't mention the difference in sizes, expensive lesson learned.

as i said earlier in thread you need to go by the suffix ,is your manual just series 2 or 2a

wickford90 · Nov 25, 2015

It's the brooklands green one on 2 and 2a

jamesmartin · Nov 25, 2015
