Ok another update. Just took it for a good drive round the block a few time round some twisty corners. Took it back to my garage jacked it up and had another check and all seems ok. If I grab the wheel top and bottom and give it a good tug each way there is like a nano mm of play you can barely feel and if I grab the wheel on each side there is the tiniest amount of play not even enough to notice just a slight tic feeling if that makes sence. So seems good.
although on the downside i must have forgot to pop my vw centre cap back in propply and lost it wile taking it for a drive

but hay fcuk it atleast i can drive my car again. woohoo. great advice peeps
