    Id guess wheel bearings or at worst drive shafts...... but it could be anything, even something like a slightly bend brake disk catching the caliper as it goes round

    That happened to my mini (not me though) I think the hub and ball joints had to be replaced, as pusb said could just of bent the shield if you have them. I would check the torque of the other ones (60nm IIRC)

    When my wheel fell off it landed dead on the ball joint and welded the nut to the ball joint. I haven't had any problems as of yet. If you need me to pop up and take a look kieran i should be free most nights this week to make sure its nothing too serious.
