got 3 problems with my car, wondering if we have any body that works in a garage that will know the symtoms of my ill car...lol and how much it could possibly cost,

problem 1, exhaust keeps blowing alot.
problem 2 when driving i can feel crunching under my feet like pedals when braking. mayb suspension? because its every time i go over bumps it crunches
problem 3, when turning right i can hear nocking.


thanks i dont really know much about the engine side of things yet, only been driving 3month. so just wondering if the experianced saxo drivers could help. thanks :afro:

Where does the exhaust blow from?
Refitting & new gaskets can cure - unless there is a hole!

For Problem 1 : Possibly the Cat, depends where on the exhaust it's blowing(i.e.front/middle or rear)?
Problem 2 : Could be anything like engine mounts, suspension, springs. Usually this problem occurs when the suspension leg is shot!
Problem 3 : This will be the Driveshaft, common problem they cost about £60 from a local motor factors.

Well I hope this helps chuck in abit more info about problem 1 and should be able to help!! K Buddy!!:y:
