Well, the noise has changed, but is still there to a lesser extent. Very strange, as the noise definitely disappears completely on right hand bends, which is why I, and the mechanic who did it, identified the RH wheel bearing, (which was shot anyway). I'm wondering if there is a bearing on the RH side of the diff which could give the same symptoms?

I had something similar when the inner brake pads rusted into position on the rear calipers. The inner face of each disc also rusted and I was getting a rumbling noise with slight changes of direction.

Thanks Andy, but I recently did all the rear brakes, discs and handbrake, and the noise started before that.

I have now had the LH bearing changed (for the same price), and the noise has completely disappeared, so clearly the worst bearing noise was coming from the much more badly worn LH bearing, despite the fact that the noise completely disappeared in RIGHT HAND turns. I hope this information may help owners with a similar noise to correctly identify the faulty bearing.
