Are you really going to try and buy a wheel bearing from Vauxhall?
Your local motor factor will supply that for less hassle, and a good one will allow you to pick a brand like Timken or SKF if you don't fancy a gamble on a possibly cheaper one for £47.44 LINK (https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/q-drive-wheel-bearing-kit-628720091) Those have gone up; when I bought them for my car they were about £25.

All ready bought a bearing but got a feeling I've been sent the wrong one.
Contacted the sender and he has requested the VX part number

Nige/Entwood fitted an aftermarket bearing to the front of his car, it lasted a very short time before it failed. He was in French France when it did & the garage he took it to would only replace both front bearings. I shelled out c£100 from Vauxhall at around the same time for mine & never had a further problem. Sometimes OE is best.

According to EPC: 90235281 superceded to 90486468 (which is a kit inc snap ring and locking plate)

Not quite the same thing though: a front bearing is built into the hub, and is a model specific part. The rear bearing is a standard double row bearing that could be used for many other industrial applications. Which makes it fairly easy to get them cheap, or from a reputable manufacturer if you don't feel like gambling another £25

Although not relative to the subject of rear wheel bearings, I bought two new front hubs for the Omega - one was genuine GM, and the other a NOS AP Lockheed unit - both were fitted with Koyo bearings. I do try to stick with genuine GM, but this just reinforces that other makes of equally good bearings can often be bought for less money than GM boxed parts.
