51 plate saxo vtr

[dt1975]

Evening all,if anyone can help or advise Ive got a 51 plate saxo vtr I went over a few speed bumps earlier not fast but probably faster than I should have and since I've now got a continously tapping from front passenger side wheel that gets louder the faster you go I noticed a bit of the skirting trim was loose a couple of the plugs have come loose I think so I've temporarily zip tied them and the tapping noise is still continuous definitely mechanical any ideas what it could be as I need to order part I've just had clutch done over xmas 450 quid so need to keep the cost down many thanks in advance☺

Thanks gerrankin I'll give that a try first

I can't think of a more dumb/dangerous thing to do than jack it up on one wheel, start the engine then put it in gear and get the wheels spinning.

Do not do that, ever.

and why is that? I could think of worse - getting underneath it just on a jack would be more dangerous

Get both wheels up?

^^^Whatever. Do not ever drive your car on jacks, like, ever? Rocket science?

Jack one or 2 wheels up, put in gear and get going, what could possibly go wrong...

Only if you are a total retard are you going to have a problem. As long as the car is secure and can't come off the stands it will be fine? With the rear wheel chocked. Letting it idle on Tick over won't hurt, old school way of removing lips on old discs when you bolt the disc on flipped and grind the lip back using the rotation of the wheel to keep it as circular as you can
