I'm guessing that when the VCU support bearing rubbers are starting to perish like this, they should be changed? With a OWUT result of around 55 seconds, maybe I should do the VCU while I'm at it?

If you change the VCU as well as the bearings go to Bell Engineering-they will send a VCU with bearing fitted for £295-and they pay to send your old VCU back

Yes, change them. Perished rubber is a sign of a cheapo crap bearing anyway - I should know; I’ve gone through a few.

The rubber will always perish at some point even with the best bearings.

The bearings are the originals so they've done nearly 14 years. Not bad!!
