Sounds to good to be true and considering how much they sell for on various Rover Parts stores, its hard to believe that the seller of these particular ebay listings would not be tempted to get more $$$ for the hubs.... Id stay away from them and use a future tax return if ever I needed new replacement hubs.

All things considered, most of the "mainstream" Rover part sites are overpriced as it is. So these might not be any worse at all.

I order parts out of the UK from time to time and they are at my door in 48 hours via DHL International Express, I am in Western Canada. When tracking the parts they always go through the USA the first day.

You might want to order from them as their prices are much cheaper even with the exhcange and shipping.

Here is a link for a rear hub for a Discovery which is $223.21 USD. Shipping would probably be another $30-$40 Pounds.

Hub - TAY100050 | Discovery Series 2 | Land Rover | British Parts UK

I have not had any issues with these parts and some come with the land rover inventory tags on them (OEM).

Ordering in Canada is MUCH cheaper than the US.

ZGPhoto -

The price I put was in US dollars and just to compare that price to Canada, the converstion from pounds to CAD on the same hub is $222.59. Even when the CAD is a little higher than the USD, it's only going to be anywhere from $5-$10 cheaper so really not that much of a difference.

As with every place one buys / orders from, some thing are cheaper, some aren't. For those that want to save some money at times, Britishparts.co.uk could be one of those places is all I am saying.
