Problem solved.

It was the nut behind the wheel

(me) :blush:

The four 14mm ? bolts which attach the disc backing plate to the 'spindle' (behind the ABS ring). I had loosened them, and then found out that I didn't need to remove them. They were still slightly loose, and this allowed a small amount of play, which seemed to mimic a damaged wheel bearing - with the foot brake applied, the rocking stopped.

Torqued them up and there is no play.

MOT first thing tomorrow.

Fingers crossed.

Peter
