P bush on the o/s will need changing relatively soon I think, but I have found the problem.
The wheel nuts weren't tight enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I nipped them with my impact gun, then did them the rest of the way with my power bar, not too tight, but as tight as I would normally do up a steel wheel. I stuck the power bar on them tonight and dogged them up even tighter (again,not stupidly tight), but tighter than I would normally. Test drive = Noise gone.
The noise must have been the wheel centre flexing on the hub centre.
Embarrassed that it was something so simple, but also relieved that it was something so simple!
