The WOF boy said that both my hubs have play in them and need adjusting. As far as I'm aware, you can't adjust Gemini hubs. Any ideas what might be causing this play?
Cheers my minions!

depends which way it is moving, I'm assuming you mean fronts? could be anything from wheel bearing, tie-rod end, to bottom ball joint or inner rack end.
if its everywhere movement, probably bearing
if the bottom pulls out, either lower balljoint or possibly upper if the top has movement
if it moves side to side like steering movement, then obviously something in the steering either tie-rod if the arm isn't moving, or inner rack end if the arm is moving (but not steering wheel obviously)
some of that might be obvious but just putting it out there

Cheers. They also picked up a tie-rod end, so I'm hoping it's just the bearings need to be tightened a bit.

I've done quite a few wheel bearings over my years of ownership. I can't believe they would have worn out already. I'm going to just tighten them a 1/2 turn and see if that makes any difference. No point in shelling out for new bearings if I don't have to.
