Yes I 'flapped' too soon over all this. Humble Pie...lol So do you think it was the pressure from the wheel bolts, or the rust bubbles on the hub? This vibration had been present from the day I bought the car??

....and yes it is a 3/8 drive TengTool :) Shame their gear is not smooth metal, so it can be cleaned to shine.

I think its time to hand the problem over to a 'specialist'.

The ****** annoying ****y vibration is back after only 8000k on new MB discs.
I have braked gently, I have not held it on the brakes after stopping (used the parking brake) Yet, a few days ago as I started to slow for a round-a-bout I noticed the vibration again. Slowly getting worse. I think I have warped the discs again.
The only thing non-standard now is the green stuff pads- I don't get it?
