got a 1999 xantia estate hdi100 so 283mm discs up front.
Symptoms are vibration when braking and vibration above 60mph to 80mph.
The wheels have been balanced as well
When i bought the car it had rusty discs so i swapped them over and the vibration went away for about 100 miles, then it came back again. So on the advice of previous owner i took the discs off and cleaned up the mating surface on the hub till it was like brand new and put some copper grease on both sides. I also changed the pads at this point as well (on one the friction material had broken away). Once again all was well for about 100 miles and then the vibration came back.
Any ideas as i'm now at a loss....

I would have said pads near the end, but you've said you've changed them..
Bottom ball joints?? Track rod ends??
Jack the front of the car up, grasp the wheels top and bottom and rock, and also side to side, IE: Grasp at 6 O-clock and at quarter to 3, and rock to check for play in either ball joints..
Sounds like a lower ball joint possibillity..
