Like your name "MrBean" Haven't seen him on TV over here for some time.
The problem may be excess play in the nut. This could be fixed by the use of a material here in the states called "Moglice"
http://www.moglice.com/
There's an article about it in the Jan-Feb issue of "The Home Shop Machinist".
It sounds pretty good.

I believe that Moglice is quite expensive, and I believe it would be cheaper to buy a good acme screw than to try to get the play out of a woodworking vise screw.
