    Cheers guys.

    I slamed the nut down before i went to Mat's to get new nut. It made it all the way there and we had trouble geting it off.

    New lock nut is on and all is good and tight. There are still a few noises coming from that side of the car that i thought where caused by the loose nut.

    More like a rattle. Like a hub cap is loose or something. Its a metalic sound.

    Doesnt sound too good mate, sound like the joint must be stuffed/worn and/or the hub.

    i had this before on my mk2 16v, the nut kept on coming undone after a gearbox rebuild, replaced the nut 3 times!!! but in the end the hub/bearing was shafted and i replaced that. problem sorted
