    That sounds plausible. What is the other end of the hose connected to?
  2. cliffcoggin
    No. The noise is always worse when turning because the balls have to move further in their tracks.
  3. cliffcoggin
    Where have you looked?
  4. cliffcoggin
    Why? A wise man once opined to me that what man has made, man can repair.
  5. cliffcoggin
    I am not disagreeing.

    Pinking, or pre-ignition, is not dependant on engine speed, instead it depends on engine load hence it happens when accelerating. A fuel mixture that is too weak or a spark that is too advanced will cause pinking. Modern engines normally detect that pinking and automatically adjust the ECU output accordingly. That's not to say your engine is definitely pinking because we can not hear the sound, but it is a possibility.

    If you are not concerned by the appearance and it does not let in the rain, then all's well.

    68000 miles is perhaps a little earlier than expected for an alternator to expire, but not unreasonably so. Get the garage to test the battery when you change the alternator as it may have been damaged by continual discharge. However look at another recent topic on this forum regarding "brake servo restricted" for further enlightenment.

    All I hear Hamza is tyre noise. I hear nothing unusual, which is a common problem when recordings are played back. You have become mentally attuned to the sound your car makes. Note that some tyres are much noisier than others, and affected more by the road surface. What happens if you refit the winter tyres and drive along the same stretch of road? Does the noise change or disappear?

    Any news to report Ian?

    Mark. I see you looked at this forum yesterday, so have you made any progress on the matter?

    The warranty would become void as soon as you modify the car.
  13. cliffcoggin
    Your choice of course, but a quick internet search revealed three companies in Eire that do this sort of work.
  14. cliffcoggin
    Sorry Hamza, I will not open links to untrusted sources, however if the tyres are as bad as you describe I have no doubt they are the cause of the noise.
  15. cliffcoggin
    Is there any damage to the summer tyres, or a foreign body such as a stone jammed in the tread? Are they even at the correct pressure?
