...Cheers, my millage is low currently but would like to get it sorted...

Mine is 50k  

I meant what i do per month, car is on 106k, but i only do 650 miles a month.

Its a case of elimination then i think, cheapest first.
I spent all day today in the soaking rain   replacing most of the steering, tracking and most of suspension components to get rid of the problem.

Drives like a dream now though

Tunnie, on uneven road do you get tramlining?
If so its 99% sure to be the wishbones and inner tyre wear.

Pulls to one side.... i think i have.... not really sure.  

Tyres are excellent, very even ware on all of them. Not the most grippy tyres in the world, but the ware has been excellent, i have done 25k, and still have 6mm on the back!

Those tyres may as well be made of plastic for all the good they are.

Let me know if you want me to take it for a thrashing spin...

I find them perfect for my level of skill, comming back from Bicester if the road is to myself i never dip below 80 on the corners. As far as i am concered they are fanastic for my level of experiance and competance behind the wheel....

Quite the opposite, I found them to snap out without warning...

Markjay,
Vibration against wobble could be warped discs, Does the vibration get softer the slower you are under braking?

When braking relatively hard, i.e. not panic stop but like you slow down for a speed camera, form around 70 to around 50, there is a noticeable 'knocking' felt on the steering wheel, like you were holding an air tool... it is also felt on the auto gear shift stick. but oddly if you look at the steering wheel it does not seem to move at all.

Had this before, changed front bearings (which needed doing anyway) and front discs, was fine for a couple of months but now came back....

I am reluctant to change the discs again after only a few months (they are Vx so should be good), so I'll be changing the wishbones next and will take it from there... I will also ask Tony @ WIM to have a look at the suspension and see if he can spot any other failed bushes drop links etc (even though car MOTed fine).
