skymera Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'll get the tyres inspected. I don't want dodgy tyres on the fronts ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skymera Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Not with the handbrake in these. The handbrake is shocking. So 2 new tyres and the problem is much better. I still have a whirring noise but I can't tell if it's road noise from the tyres or a FRONT bearing. This is getting tiresome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skymera Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 What state are the fronts in? Tyres? Brand new 2 weeks ago :/ I'm not sure how to check bearings. I'll look it up. But the car also had a new filter and an oil change consisting of 5W-40 fully synthetic Fuchs Super Syn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I think if a bearing has gone you'll get play in it, jack the front up and get hold of the wheel top and bottom and try to wobble it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
