thing is i need a diagnosis before i spend more money removing and replacing things that isnt the problem . when are you free ben?

dont look at me im in Japan sorry mate

As fatboyz said above - the C clip on the driveshaft MIGHT not be engaged and the driveshaft is slightly popping out upon driving - but you would be losing gearbox fluid if this was the case as the fluid leaks out of the non-sealed area. Note any fluid loss.

Perhaps one or both driveshafts are not overly held - 32mm hub nuts are loose might need a tigthen - or even lugnuts arent 108nm or so tight. Check it all that you can Sam.

Pop round on Sat if you havn't got it diagnosed by then & I'll have a look.
It could be as Ben described or something dumb like an inner or outer CV being a little rooted & binding up, that can also present similar symptoms.
We're up @ Thornleigh now though.
