Looking like I'll need to change one for the MOT in a couple of weeks. No noise but seems to be play.

I've heard rumours of silly money for the 205 ones, and also heard there's a cheaper option if you know skf part No.s and buy from an industrial bearing supplier. Anyone got any information or good / cheap sources to buy from ?

I got my rear bearings from TCB Parts.
Excellent service and delivery.

I replaced two wheel bearings three years ago with Blueprint bearings. They are pretty well known and I think the cost is reasonable.

Camberly auto factors behind the old B&Q (talbot heath ind. Est?)stocked the blueprint rear ones Chris. From memory it was around 50 including seals (part of kit)

I think the bearings are NSK, try Ashley Power, think they can source if you've got a number but it might be a Toyota only part

The Blueprint kit came with oem bearings

Go for the blueprint kit... you will need the seals
