Strange noise update
gtomo2:
Well here is the update.
The noise stopped during the week so.car loaded up and me and shmbo set off for sunny north wales to vist the perants. Got as far as uttoxitor and the car pulled sharp right at 60mph followed by a loud metallic sound and a loud squeal got the car stright and got it into a car park checked the front drivers side wheel station and it was not hot had a good look at ti and could not see anything up with it there was no movement in the wheel. so drove it around a roundabout and no noise. then it started to make a grumbling sound and a thumping with a squeal. so limped it home and the noise got louder plus when i brake it felt ruff not smooth on the brake pedel. so its not sat in the drive waitting for me to look at it tomorrow think its the wheel bearing that has gone. which if it is that did well to get me home a round trip of about 40 miles :shock:

Well just took the front drivers side wheel assm off and each of the rear bearings fell out indervigually so now the fun starts need new bearings and looks like the bearing case has weldered itself to the shaft. not a happy bunny. wish i had two cars. now stuck with leg power. and trying to sorce new bearings and shaft :(mad): :(bigcry): :(thinkhard): :(bigangry):
