I would be intrested in any feed back regarding experiences of rear wheel bearing noise.I get upto speed of about 40/50 mph and I have a droan from the rear(as though its bearing or tyres?)the tyes are about 2months old.f I knock the car into neutral at this speed and coast the noise s still apparent.
Any advice would be helpfull thank you.

Do you know what side it is on? If you think right hand side and go round a roundabout the noise should be worse I think. Left hand turn may see the noise disappear or reduce. Vice versa for lefthand wheel.
What year is your car? Did these on a '84 recently and relatively easy to do. Post 85.5 though and the bearing needs pressed out though you can get a tool from the States to do this.
 
its a 1986 lux model and the noise doesnt change on cornering so Iam not sure what side it would be.
 
Pity, that would have narrowed it down. However, that droning noise still sounds like what I had and it went away on changing the bearing.
 
I've just had mine changed. Was getting the constant noise which would change in pitch/tone depending on speed only (revs/gear etc would have no independent effect), really annoying on the motorway. I had both done on the principal that if one was gone the other couldn't be far behind.

Not sure of the specific labour cost for that as I had some other work done as well and haven't yet picked up the car (they found a leaky fuel line at the same time...), but one place had suggested it would be a day's work, this place punted at ~2 hours each side when I was phoning around.

Mine's a '91
