Judder can also be caused by incorrect brake bedding in procedures, as the transfer layer may not be evenely spread, and/or cementite formation....

Very interesting....

But does not explain the vibration at speed (without braking)  :-?

Is this a facelift CDX by any chance...? I wouldn't mind a spare 7-spoke wheel (not a buckled one, obviously), so if somehow one becomes redundant and you wish to convert it to a (very) tiny amount of cash, then.....    

theres one on ebay if your still interested .. copy and paste this link.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-VECTRA-OMEGA-16-ALLOY-IN-EXCELLENT-CONDITION_W0QQitemZ270188516788QQihZ017QQcategoryZ10404QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Ouch... a bit too late now. I was going to change the tyres and the idea was to keep one of the old 225/55s as spare on a proper alloy wheel instead of the 195/65 I currently have. But I since replaced the tyres and did not keep one of the old 225/55s, so I have nothing to put on the alloy wheel now.... I will probably kick myself for not buying it if one of the wheels gets buckled though...

Everything is possible... what baffles me is that the vibration was completely cured with the new bearing sand discs, and you wouldn't expect this to happen if this was a suspension component. So I have no idea why the vibration came back after 6 months, and I can't imagine that I managed to wear the new bearings/disks/pads (all original Vx stuff) in such a short space of time.
