Parts and oil recommendations

Hi all, I am in need of new front wheel bearings and oil for my 2006 2.7 tdv6 rrs, it's an auto,
First off I am not able to buy genuine wheel bearings but there is a minefield of oem and aftermarket ones ranging from £40 TO £125 each. Can anyone recommend a good brand to go with or even what brands to avoid?
As for the oils I need to replace the diff oils and transfer box oils along with the auto gearbox oils.
Would anyone again be able to recommend a quality brand and type?
Thanks

Get the Timken OEM front bearing. Don't bother with the cheap stuff or you'll be changing it again in months if you do. Make sure you use the new, lower, torque figure for the hub nut (230Nm I believe but others will confirm).

Oils and stuff: https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/service-...-195-c.asp

Assuming you have the non-locking rear diff (almost certainly so) the front and rear diffs use the same oil. Transfer box has its own oil. All easily found on the above site.

Get the gearbox flushed if you can. This changes all of the oil. More expensive but does a thorough job. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Use genuine LR oil for transfer box.
2l is about £50 ?

As RRSTDV8 says Thumbs Up

Use OEM Timken bearings , as these are heavy cars .
The cheaper units will collapse and fail within a short time
Equaling false economy Whistle
