possible wheel bearing issue?

Car  Schma Schme 1.6l
the clio makes a droning noise that gets worse with speed, thought it might be exhuast but the noise is at the wrong engine level.

i'm thinking rear wheel bearing?

where is a good place to purchase? eurocarparts do them for £28 but GFS are £14. ?? anywhere else?

also, any tips on removal -refitting ?

thank you.
 
If your rear discs are al all worn, then its best to replace disks at the same time. You can get the new discs with the bearings pre-fitted, which makes the job really easy. Two bolts to remove the caliper, then the big hub-nut. The bearings only seem to last about 100k miles. You can usually tell which side is failing due to increased noise in a corner, when faulty side takes more load.
