Calling Matbrown

[Purple]

Need rear wheel bearings. Both left and right. I hope you have them.

Can you airmail them in a bubble envelope? To Singapore.

Let me know the total cost via PM and I will paypal you.

Thanks.


PS: It's slightly urgent. So even if you can't get new ones, I don't mind good condition used ones.

[MatBrown]

Would have to be new ones as the old ones won't come out without damaging them.
I've not got any in stock but can try and get you some.
Did you want genuine or aftermarket?
Have you considered new discs with the bearings already pressed in?

[Purple]

Genuine or aftermarket - I will say whichever fastest to get to me, as I have to send the clio for it's annual inspection few weeks time.

The shipping cost will be a killer with the discs pre-fitted (and probably slower). Is there any issue in replacing the bearings while keeping my old discs?

Thanks, mat.

[MatBrown]

No not really, as long as you have someone who can press them in/out.
Best place for genuine would be RPD.

[MatBrown]

If you order from there they can post direct to you.
Just get in touch with paul for a quote on the cost of shipping.

[Purple]

Thanks. I will phone Paul on Monday and see where I go from there.

BTW, is website price of 47.38 GBP for 1 wheel bearing?

[Coops]

thats genuine Renault bearings, hence massively expensive. iuse 7 quid motorfactor ones and they've been on for 7 years and multiple track days etc :)

[Purple]

Thanks Coops. That's a huge price difference. I could spend the money on air courier with that savings.

Any web link as to where I can get the motorfactor ones or any other aftermarket bearings.

GSF (German Swedish French car parts)
Eurocarparts

But i would only ever fit genuine bearings. As much as they are marked up by Renault themselves in my experiance pattern ones dont last as long.

[northy]

Oh and i normally buy my discs from RALLY DESIGN - I get the Group N ones.

[Purple]

Just ordered from GSF. About 18GBP each after less VAT. Airmail postage cost me 25GBP. Hope they fit and work.

Thanks all, this forum makes owning the only tropical clio williams a little easier.
