Totally cheesed off with this bloody car now only had it 3 months and nothing but trouble,

Basically it started making a squeeking noice from drivers side front wheel then a louder noice like aa aaaaa (like metal rubbing together) then the squeek, not sure if there related or seperate issues but both make the noice when cars moving.

Had new bearing fitted, still did the stupid noice, replaced disks and pads at weekend still does the stupid noice.

There was a little play in the drive shaft nearer the ball joint could this be it as this is the next thing to replace.

Also the louder sound sounds more louder (or you can here it clearer) when clutch is pressed it, but still makes it with or without doing this.

Any help I'd be sooo greatful as I want to keep this car but if it foooks up one more time before xmas, I'll crap on it then I'll torch it!!

It does sound like your driveshaft mate also have you checked the cv boots in case there is a leak?

you sure the metal on metal noise is drivers side... i know that sounds stupid, but if its not, it could be gearbox..

Checked both CV boots, dry as a virgins clout...

Was hoping it wasn't the gearbox tbh drives fine through all gears and cars only done 69K, definalty coming from drivers side, mide you you'd think you'd hear it more when you open window but you don't ?!?!?!

Drives shafts next thing to change though so fingers crossed...
