Have the brake checked and the exhuast checked. One of them is moving around a little. Sounds more like the exhuast vibrating and tapping the body of the car.

I turn on heater or air and the controls don't work. no air is coming out at all. the back only works on high.

Sounds like you may have a bad blower motor resistor/module or blower motor. It is located under the drivers side of the dash near the blower motor.

You can check out this how to tip.

http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6571076-blower_motor_not_work

you can also try tapping the bottom of the blower motor with a small hammer or the handle end of a large screwdriver. Tap is the key word. Make sure the key is in the on position and the blower motor speed switch is set to any speed. If it starts to work than the blower motor is bad.

As far as the rear it sounds like you definitely have a bad blower motor resistor. It can be accessed by removing the passenger side rear trim panel. The resistor will have a few wires going to it and will be held to the HVAC unit with two screws.

If you have any more questions just ask. I will be happy to help!

When driving at speed i get a loud whine/shriek from rear driver side wheel, when breaks are applied noise goes. (disc ?) new discs fitted 3 years ago.

the brake pads have a wear indicator as the pads wear the indicator will tuch the brake rotor and make a high pitch shriek, so you need new brake pads.

How do i get the rear hub off to replace the wheel studs

On some vehicles you may need to slightly pry the hub off. This can be done with a screw driver or the vehicle may have a lug wrench that came with the vehicle. If you are trying to replace the lug studs, then you will have to take the wheel off. Tap the broken stud out and replace it with the new one.

I have a grinding noise near the back drivers side wheel it comes and goes sometimes whilst driving and driving at low speeds it also happens when i go round corners. There is a burning smell near rear...

Sounds like a broken bearing. If your wheel is beginning to wobble it will make contact with the brake shoes and this will them very hot to the point of giving off a burning smell

I HAVE A 1991 LEXUS 400LS THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEELS SHACKS WHEN I DRIVE UNDER THE SPEED OF 25 MPH. WHY?

You have a seperated tire or a loose wheel. A seperated tire happens when the tire's plys seperate from each other, this makes the car bounce or shake at low speeds. High speed vibrations are caused by unbalanced wheels. Vibrations under braking are the rotors.
