I just got a quote for a wheel baring on my 4Mo from a local garage the other day and they quoted me £100.  Although they were honest and said don't bother replacing it just yet as its only making a very slight noise, checked my car over and made sure nothing was lose and didn't charge me anything!!
Did that include tracking after?

My bearing is not very slight either. At about 30 mph the whole floorpan is on the go and the radio volume has to go up. In fairness it only has about 2 mm of play at the wheel rim but it got loud very quickly so I am not mucking about with it.

Putting tracking to the side, I wouldnt expect paying any more than £50 for labour doing a bearing (assuming old/new goes in/out ok)
