I've also check the carrier bearing again today and no play there. So the bad news is I still don't know what is causing the noise and its getting worse, pretty much constant now.

I don't think its a wheel bearing as its just not got the traditional symptoms of that, but I'll check them all next weekend.

It was a pig of a job to change though as it was utterly seized. I had to use a blow torch and sledge hammer to get it to budge - needless to say a front alignment was then required
