I wouldn't worry to much just get in there and make sure nothing isn't stuck in there and when u clean the car with the prssure cleaner if ya got one blast the hell out of ya disk and all ya pads and stuff and blow out any crap in there ...

I reakon it was just a little bit of sand...

Thanks for that guys I was in the middle of nowhere and was worried that I may have done some real damage to the wheel . I thought it might of been a bearing but it drives fine now. I will have to get my hands dirty this weekend I guess.
