I had to get a bearing replaced on my car during last year. I think you will find that a lot of the cost is in the parts themselves. The bearing kit itself was around the £140 mark and the hub drive flange was about the same again. I understood that the latter could often need replacing so I suspect you will find that once the dealer takes it apart it turns into a dearer job than £315.

May well see you there. I've got three visits to make to Adam. There is nobody I trust more. His next job for me is fitting pads and disks all round on my Range Rover (aka Timmy). As it happens he sourced better quality parts, at a lesser rate compared to the local independent Land Rover specialist.

Let us know how you get on.

Can I just add, I recently had my understeel done by Adam... Proper job compared to any dealer in the country.

There is a greasy spoon less than 1 min walk away if you are feeling peckish.
