Well, I was driving back to uni yesterday and for the first hour or so the journey was fine doin speeds from 70-90mph, and got to a point in the drive when a grinding noise was coming from the front of the car (the boise that car wheel bearings make!!) so I stopped, checked, n it wasnt!
Continued down the motorway, the noise started again, I was goin about 80mph, slowed to about 55mph and the noises could still be heard no matter what the car was doin i.e steering left or right accelerating, braking etc. I drove the car to the next service stop and realised that by dropping the clutch the noise stopped, or by taking the car out of a gear and letting it roll.
Called out the AA, they drove the car checked around the car and couldnt see a problem. I then drove the car another 100miles (approx speed of (60mph) with no noise at all.
Now as u can imagine I am confused to what was making the noise? One thing I have noticed in the engine bay is that on the steering rack and exhaust pipe is grease, which wasnt there bout 2 days (cleaned off the grease that was there!!)
Does anyone know what caused this problem, and how I may go about getting it repaired?
Thanx
