I reckon you should be fine. My rear wheel bearing collapsed spectacularly and I did a further 200 miles wondering what the noise was

I reckon you'll get home, but you wont be able to get out of the car because your arsehole will be gripping the seat too tightly

you will make it easy, the noise will get worse and worse though.

I had a front bearing go just as I was getting into london.

still drove the fucker to Derby.

it takes a lot to lock up a bearing, then only one I have every heard of was on the back of some shitron Van were the bearing had been fucked 7weeks, still doing his daily work.
