That's usually suspension related - either sway bar or ball joints if it is in time with the wheels. Check and see if it happens over bumps because that usually indicates shock failure of some description. If you are on the original suspension then those are the most likely culprits.
Limp mode would not have ruined the rear diff.

CYOA
Fitted all four new cables, came out, went in fine. Engine on, revs fine, doesn't feel underpowered/juddery even gunning it up hills which was where it failed last week.
Basically all good and even felt like it performed better than before it conked out the other day. Though I noticed a knocking sound as I braked/came to a stop that was in time with the wheels - i.e. was rapid and slowed down as I did. It seemed to resolve itself by the end of the test journey I just did (3 miles or so). Could it just have been rust or something? Paranoid I've fucked the transmission/rotor/other expensive thing (though would have thought that driving in limp mode for about 300m wouldn't have done that).
Again, it seemed to have resolved itself by the end of the journey. Something stuck in the tyre maybe?! It wasn't metallic, sort of hollow/dull thudding. It sounded like it was coming from the boot/rear of the car - couldn't place left or right.
