mattri Member 214 Member For: 19y 7m 23d Posted 28/07/05 08:31 AM Share Posted 28/07/05 08:31 AM Driving my T from work today I noticed that when I took of I heard what sounds like a truck reversing when I was driving slowly away. It sounded as though it was coming from the rear tires or Diff. As I got faster the sound was speeding up also, but when I got to around 50 it stopped. I stopped again for feul, had a look couldnt se anything but when I wemnt to drive off again it was there again. Well I am confsed. So I had to stop off at a mates place, but when I went to take off again thinking if would do it agian, I heard nothing. Anyones thoughts as to what it could beAlso my auto ghearbox is making me wonder if its okwhen downshifting to first it makes a it of a clunk sound, is this normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was there all the way from home to Sydney and didn't stop until I opened the boot and let the old bag out - the dragon! - the M-I-L!! Seriously though I'd be looking first to your brakes/handbrake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off to ford I'd say, and try for warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has happened to me twice now. I had an almighty scream from the front left wheel.....ended up at Expensive Daewoo and they found it to be a small piece of blue metal. same thing happened again about a year later and it took me about 2 hours to get the bugger out. As the rock was moving around in there, the noise would come and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it to Ford, I just about live there. Edited 30/07/05 01:52 AM by Aeron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
