was doing a little work on my every day car (brakes) and found a little play in the rear bearing so called Nissan to order a replacement (was thinking around £40 ish). Got a real shock when he said £118.21 +vat i asked why he said it's a complete unit i have to buy the full hub So after spending the day trying to source it cheaper i failed and had to buy it from Nissan then 3 hours after i ordered it i receive and email from a company that can supply for £79 including vat (doh!! to late all ready ordered) Then last night going over to my mates to help him swap a CV on his car my exhaust snapped on the 200B and it's in for a car show this weekend, just hope the company that made the system can squeeze the car in and sort it before the show

Its sod's law that stuff goes wrong when youy could really do without it, its the same with ordering stuff you kinda just know that a cheaper price'll suddenly appear!

Guessing the primera GT in your pic is your everyday car, ive got one the same (just white) as my everyday car and things seem to come in waves recently one cv boot went, finally found the time to fix it, then 2 days later the other side split, then a month ago someone kicked my wing mirror off, then 2 weeks ago someone gouged a hole in my door whilst breaking in, now someone has kicked off the same wing mirror again, (luckily I hadnt fixed it the first time) Well ive found a white door and mirror in a breakers which should kill 2 birds with one stone, would rather kill 3 car vandalising chavs with one angry fat man though

Well done, fixed the datsun in time for the weekend. I'm sure Ive come across changes such as that myself which don't even show on the nissan parts computers, my brother is an engineer up in sunderland at the plant where they are made, (I bought my car off a nissan employee) probably one of his mates who made the decision, (probably realised it would save 2p per car or something)

My dads maxda 323 also needs a new rear wheel bearing and he has got to buy a complete hub to resolve the problem much to his disgust! where did you get the cheaper quote from? as the cheapest he can find for his mazda is £106 + vat......
