front wheel bearing failure
yes it happened to me today, on my 1st 150k journey of 600k, there wasn't much warning at all, just some rumbling, so i pulled over in perth, just outside the landy garage that was shut i called recovery, they jacked the n/s/f up and the wheel wobbled quite worryingly, i'm glad i caught it in time tho,
has anyone changed there front bearings yet, what does it incorparate, and at what COST
are they separated or do i have to buy the whole hub
cheers matt

Frank Ogg did my front left few months ago, was under warranty so no idea of cost.

IIRC, the bearing is around £80-£90, with about 1.5 hrs labour. Replaced a few myself already
