    You can buy one from most motor factors, and you will need to remove the hub and get the old one pressed and and replaced with now. Need to do mine actually.

    cheers guys i think at least 1 need doing

    i have tested the wheels for any wobble (there is none ) but i still get buzzing when i drive
    it stops buzzing when i go round a left corner
    so i think it can only be the bearing

    im sure there is a few places round near me who will sell bearings

    Bearings are funny things - they appear to go sometimes but not have all the symptoms!

    Might as well get them done as they're not super expensive
