1. Swaying the car to the right at 60kmh stops the noise. Think this the result of unloading the right rear wheel and therefore its this one, not the left.
This would strongly indicate a wheel be ... |

You can get the reg off Autotrader by clicking the 'get insurance quote' - it opens up a new tab and the reg will be in the box on the page.
Nice tip, thanks! I'll give that a go! 
As an aside ... |

Are your Falcon's an All Terrain pattern? That would cause noise, but you most probably knew that already!
Otherwise, are they road biased directional tyres and running the wrong way, perhaps i ... |

I pair my IID tool to an IPAD, numbers are plenty big enough!
Or get a passenger to watch the numbers. You don't have to stare at them whilst driving.

I'm pretty sure that 'Remaining volume' always reads zero when using the GAP IID tool.
DPF soot level of 30.2 seems high though for a TDV8, and the car should be requesting a regen by now.
My TD ... |

A sticking calliper could have caused your original problem of warped discs, so could be the problem once again.
If the new discs are warped, you'd know about it when you applied the brakes, but i ... |

You don't need high revs for a DPF regen on these vehicles. Post CAT EGT's will be 600+ degrees at a steady 60mph in 8th gear. High revs are not required.
The exhaust gas temperatures are raise ... |

Agree with suggestion above that it could also be worn / out-of-adjustment rack (pre-load).
Or, it could also be a worn lower steering column joint, or worn inner track rod ends. Assuming outer tr ... |

This popped up on Autotrader yesterday, anyone know it?
I realise there's no number plate, but you may recall your engine going bang! 
Seems a little odd, as it's a TDV8 with only 86K miles, ... |
