His guys there is a whine coming from the fon front left of the car while driving above 20kph m it's very audiable. I'm thinking wheel bearing or the hub, any ideas what to check to pinpoint the problem?

I would start at the hub and work your way in, has the front diff had some love since the trip? When was the last time the front diff had some love?

You could re pack the bearings and cv's but generally if it is a noisey bearing it is past thempoint of no return

Thanks Ben I'll pull it apart tomorrow I thought it would be as much. I actually haven't driven it since the trip, I'm waiting for insurance to fix the windscreen as the crack spread top to bottom now. But thanks for the pointer I'll sort it out tomorrow.
