castellated tyres give the same noise symptoms as a wheel bearing, you checked your tyres?

definitely check the types. Had thwarting same problem on e46 bmw. Are they new?

I thought that too Retro.

I normally do rear disc at the same time because bearings shells are hard to get out and in.

I had to press mine in. Maybe yours ain't fully pressed in. In at a slight angle maybe.

Yeah same as that, I count the price of discs and pads into rear bearing changes.
