Wheel bearing?
CV joint?
I'm assuming these are all new on your car so shouldn't be doubted but if there's a noise, there's a noise!

Yes new OEM bearings. The cv joints are not new but greased and they looked OK
starnge that the noise is intermittent and very loud .....but only lasts for a few minutes and doesn't come back till every thing has cooled then warmed up

Are the CV joints correctly orientated? There is a circumferential groove. I can't remember whether the groove should be towards the outside or the inside without checking but a starting point would be to check that the left side mirrors the right. I can stick my head under mine tomorrow and check if you want.

does sound like a rear wheel bearing by your description. A good diagnostic test is to take a long tight bend (in both directions), which will load the wheel bearing on the opposite side to the direction of the bend.
if you coast round the bend in neutral you'll eliminate the engine or transmission being the source of the problem.

I had a similar sound to this, prepared to do a new rear wheel bearing - on starting the job realised one of the rear hub nuts had worked itself slightly loose. Suspect a previous owner's repair hadn't torqued up properly and slowly worked itself loose. Might be worth a quick check.
