cliffcoggin Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Likely faults are a damaged tyre or worn joints in the transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hello Andy, As Cliff suggests - particularly in respect of tyres. My first, and urgent action would be to take the car to a trusted local tyre retailer and ask them to thoroughly inspect all tyres - ideally with wheels removed. Kind regards, Gareth.

Magnet Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Thanks Andy, I’m sure you will appreciate that it’s virtually impossible for the forum to explain the precise noise you are experiencing, but we will try to help you. Was the noise there before the new tyres were fitted? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I see Andy has two identical topics open at the moment. Is it possible to combine them into one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
