Ok ok ok ok ok. I bow to your wisdom, the muppets I payed to fit my new rear discs, pads and shoes had set the right rear adjuster to high and it was sticking on.

It now drives like new, and I have 2 brand new drive shafts going cheap of anyone needs them. Lol

No worries. Glad you got it sorted Thumbs Up
Just how did you eventually discover the handbrake was at fault? Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

I was rotating the left wheel ok whilst checking just one more time for play on the driveshaft, then I moved to the right.
It wouldn't move, using a breaker bar I moved the hub back and forth and it clicked and juddered.

Took the disc off, and the adjuster had been set to max extension. Undid it and it's perfect now.

I take it you have tried changing the wheels round? It's possible for a tyre to distort and produce exactly the wobble you describe. You wouldn't see it until the tyre starts to wear unevenly.
