    Britpart wheel bearings - to get or not to get?

    I'm a little concerned about the quality of Britparts'. I will be purchasing wheel bearings/hubs shortly and would like to know if you've been down this path using Britpart parts and your experiences?


    (I purchase one of their fuel pumps and got a dud!)


    Price of course does have an impact....but.....


    Thanks in advance.

    PS: I did do a forum search for bearings but came up with little?? Not sure if I'm doing it right...

    The d2 is replace the complete hub,Personally i havn't had to replace mine as yet but must be getting close at 260000km's.I try to use land rover parts [not necessarily bought off land rover] for anything that if it fails will cause further damage to occur ie why would anyone use a cheap water pump. Same with the hubs,If one fails it will damage the axle housing at least, not to mention the danger factor.Also look at the postage cost as they are a heavy item to import.

    Unlike D1s, D2s use a sealed complete hub and it has to be replaced as a whole. No choice or control over the bearings that are fitted.
