no, front wheel bearings are £30 each, 30 mins labour each side to remove, usually about £10 each to press out and new ones in and 30 mins labour each side to refit.

so about £60 in parts and 2 hours labour and 20 for the pressing. So thats quite cheap.

Davie - have my clocks been posted yet...

You said you'd post them last month.

Sounds more like I'm the one getting ripped off.

Ok, does that mean you're going to post them or have they already been sent out?

Mate, stop being sarcy, I'm just trying to find out if my clocks have been sent as I haven't received them. I u2u'd, emailed and texted you and you never replied, then tell me you never got any of them. Somehow I don't think there were failures with CS, Microsoft and both our phone networks on coincidentally the same days that I sent the messages.

Fair enough, Ste, but if they've been lost in the post then why doesn't he tell me that he has sent them...

I tried the email address in your profile, and it bounced back, so I used the one you gave me when I asked for contact info. Same with the mobile number. Why would you give out a false number and email address if you were a genuine seller? Kind of defeats the object.

If they were posted then fine, go to the post office and ask about it, that's all I ask. Surely there is something that can be done, as I have sent you my money and not received anything.

Cheers mate, when I next go into town then I'll see if they sorting office have anything hidden away as well.

I do apologize for accusing you though, I was frustrated and didn't really think Not one of my better edits
