So from that I'm am having it a guess that my Nearside wheel earing is shot,


I reckon the BEARING my be a better place to look!  :laugh: But, yeah I'd say you're spot on so far mate... A teeny weenie bit of rubbing of a disc isn't anything to lose any sleep over though...

lol damn demon typos!  :evil:

Well thanks for all the help, been suggested I replace the discs too as they possibly may be warped.. I'll check them anyway before I go get the bearings and fit them so I don't have to make two journeys. Also, would original VW discs be better suited than replacement ones? (less tendancy to warp)

Little braking is made at the rear of the car, you could possibly get some aftermarket vented discs, posbbily grooved, i'm surprised the oem ones have warped, depends how much you want to spend. May be worth changing the pads at the same time?
