more problems... where shall I start?...

1) as I'm moving slowly and braking to a stop I get a clunk clunk clunk from what sounds like the drivers side brake.

2) When I park on a slope (front facing down hill) As you pull the hand brake up and let go of the foot brake it rolls a little before stopping. Had all my brakes replaced about 6-7 months ago..

3) Clunk from the rear every now and then as I go round a corner fairly fast or bump up or down a curb.

4) Car pulls to the left if steering wheel is held strait..

5) popping noise from the front as I turn steering wheel left or right when reversing. And it sort Of feels like something is dragging while reversing while turning (hard to explain)

6) If you spin the front wheels while car is off the ground You get a rubbing sound like the brakes are rubbing... Should they spin freely and no noise?

7) Are LED numberplate bulbs now a MOT failure?

8) What kind of screws do I need for my throttle body? I think its a t4 screw? but are they different sized threads or what? Could any one send a link for some? As my current ones have rounded and a rite pain in the arse to remove.

Thanks :A:

Sounds like bottom ball joints or rear wishbone bushes

2) When I park on a slope (front facing down hill) As you pull the hand brake up and let go of the foot brake it rolls a little before stopping. Had all my brakes replaced about 6-7 months ago..

Loose handbrake cable

3) Clunk from the rear every now and then as I go round a corner fairly fast or bump up or down a curb.

Do ure wheels have a camber? if so fucked beam (very common fault)

4) Car pulls to the left if steering wheel is held strait..

Tracking?

5) popping noise from the front as I turn steering wheel left or right when reversing. And it sort Of feels like something is dragging while reversing while turning (hard to explain)

Strut Mount bearings possibly

6) If you spin the front wheels while car is off the ground You get a rubbing sound like the brakes are rubbing... Should they spin freely and no noise?

Wheel bearing or sticky caliper

7) Are LED numberplate bulbs now a MOT failure?

8) What kind of screws do I need for my throttle body? I think its a t4 screw? but are they different sized threads or what? Could any one send a link for some? As my current ones have rounded and a rite pain in the arse to remove.
