Not entirely sure, but it was pretty dark.  If I had to guess, I'd say about 10k  :-[

Put a couple of albums in that I hadn't listened to for an age and took it for a couple of hour long blasts...

Have to say, in 4x4 guise, the Insignia seems to relish being driven, with a sweet spot between 2300 and 3000 rpm... it might have half the power of the VXR, but it's just as capable through the twisties 8)

I probably need to check it is actually the bearing, and not tyre/dif/drive shaft related. But it if you don't mind chucking the tools in the boot...? :)
