been getting a judder when braking at high speed
narrowed it down to the N/S brake disk... when i take the wheel off and move the disk theres some play in it... is it just a simple case of tightening it back up??
if so does anyone know where the bolts are located
thank you plz.

The wheel bolts hold the disk in place mate, Could be a warped disk?
Edit: Or is there any play in the hub?

As has been mentioned, the wheel/bolts hold the disc in place. The tiny screw that pins the disc to the hub is meerly to stop the disc moving while you try to line up all the holes on the wheel,disc,hub as you put the wheel back on the car.
More likely that the disc is warped, bleed the lines out too.

Shouldnt do unless the disc has done any damage to the pads / caused prolongued uneven wear.
As long as you replace both discs or pads per axel at a time then there will be no problems. i.e. both front set of discs or front sets of pads.
