Right it was the wheel bearing lol went to fix it today jacked it up and had a look at the play i had in the front wheel, i could move it like an inch!! not good, so started splitting the balljoints but i some how managed to snap my balljoint splitter again trying to split the top balljoint!?! so i got annoyed and took a walk over the shops to cash in my cheque and to see if the little hardware shop had a balljoint splitter... they didnt, so i got my hair cut ;) haha as i didnt have the wheel bearing, i went to the local motor factors and they wanted £45 for one and they wernt even in stock :| so i politly told them to F-off... so at the end of the day i have a mini up on axle stands with no wheel on and the hub dangling from the top ball joint... great :) now i have to wait for the cheque to clear before i can order one from minispares :/
