OK solved that then. Well more "identified that then" than solved. Front to back wheel swap moved sound to front nearside rather than seemingly both front sides. Sound is now there 30MPH through 60MPH. Sound is much louder but quieter on rough worn out road surface (of which there are plenty around here).
So on goes a full set of 17" wheels. Sound gone but yikes so has the handling. Very washy feel on these rims with horrible turn in (cambers messed up I guess). Surprising this coz the 900, GM93 and 95 never seemed to worry to much about wheel size changes.
Back to the 18" as they were then and wait for:
a) things to settle (Unlikely)
b) tyres to wear out
c) get annoyed enough with noise to spend another £300 on a pair of new boots
Large towel and Scotch please..... horrible smegin weather out there
Cheers all, would not have thought of this solution for a long long while with out ya
