Thanks for the reply Jon,
getting worse, so jacked up the car to feel how bad this bearing is. Not the bearing though, wheel nuts lose.Since the new tyres fitted at a local national tyre retailer car has done few hundred mile, bloody lucky the wheel didn't part company after the motorway trip. phoned them up to tell them to check the torques and bend the mechanics ear on my behalf.
