Well things have moved on.

Found a wheel remanufacture place. Turned up thirty minutes before they closed for the weekend. Guy says I will put two loan wheels on your car and ring you when I have checked and rectified problem. As it was quiet he put both rears on his machine and pronounced them fine. One needed a slight adjustment to balance. The very slight vibration has gone. The rumble noise is still there. Could just be tyre noise or something in transmission. Either way we are going to live with it. Only need to get another 15 k miles out of the car

Ugh steel wheels. No thanks. We will not be anywhere that needs them ( famous last words) . If weather is that bad we will dig in somewhere and enjoy the Christmas spirit.

Well that's a result about the wheels!  :y   You can afford to treat Mrs Varche to a slap up dinner in a fancy restaurant now.  :)                                 ;D
He's from Yorkshire, she'll get fish and mushy peas and like it.

Lol

Had a garage crawl over the car for last two days. Grumble isn’t a wheel bearing! 

Mrs V had a slap up meal last night ( 118 euros ) . No mushy peas just some fancy seaweed .

I seem to have to get at least one of mine refurbed every 3-6 months, though fingers crossed, only had to do 2 this year so far.
