DaveS:
Well finally found some daylight time to have a look.
Checked all propshafts, okay managed to get some grease into them while I was there. Gonna have to replace a couple of nipples as rhey were bugned up!

Jacked up front, then rear in turn checking for play in wheels thinking bearings. All okay.

Thought I'd check all wheel nuts, offside rear were not fully tight!! Obviously tight enough to prevent me feeling any play but not with weight on! Applied large wheel spanner to all!

Car had brake pipe on rear done (failed MOT) a few weeks ago so I can only assume it was'nt torqued up, I do check wheel nuts regularly! Certainly will continue the practise!!
Many thanks to all for their suggestions much appreciated. : :D

Henry Webster:
Worth checking the stud threads for damage then.

DaveS:
Good point, will do that thanks.

Range Rover Blues:
Had that happen to me, nuts nipped up but not fully tight I'd guess and one of the LHS ones came loose, it's the heavy braking.  I always check twice now.  Worth checking after 20 miles too.
