It sounds like a stone is in the tyre, but I check and there isnt. I had my brakes fixed the other day and got him to check, and he said the noise wasn't relative to the brakes. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if they could let me know what it is. Cheers !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think its engine related. I can have it in neutral and the noise is still there. I'm pretty good with cars, but this has me stumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the same as a stone in a tyre. If I speed up (km/h) it speeds up, and vice versa with slowing down. Its really baffled me, and I dont know how long its been like this either. I'm sure the noise wasnt there when I got it back from getting new valve springs and turbo oil line, and that was about a month ago now. So lost, lol...

Can't seem to get the noise outta them then. It only happens if I'm going straight or turn left as well. If I turn right it magically disappears. I've checked everything is clear of the rims. If every road was one giant right hand turn I wouldnt have a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
