    Sounds like you have covered the obvious things....

    Tried swapping wheels from front to rear, that way you could rule out it being wheel related ?

    Not tried that, i dont think it is directly coming from the wheels as i have had them off a couple of times etc so have been checked:o

    Yep, but, didn't want you to think we were not trying to help :o
    How about a damaged drive shaft, or maybe a duff diff, would really need to see/hear this
