Sounds like your rear brake shoes are sticking.

Haven't damaged the handbrake cable have you?

I'm not to sure I will have a look tomorrow follow it back. When u took the hand brake of and was just idling it felt like the brake was on then just slowly released the clutch to roll forward just heard a big thud after that every think was working fine there's abit of play in the drive shaft about 3 mm left to right that's normal ?

If your talking about the center bearing? There is a small amount of play, shouldn't be enough for it to jump around

Yeah ok then well tomorrow I will trace the hand brake and go from there

From reading the thread title, one could have thought you were really, really scared by something.

I'd wonder about the handbrake, but also have a look at the leaf spring mounts.
