I occasionally get a noise when turning right from that kind of area - I think it might be the tyre catching the arch lining??  I always seem to forget to check it, though, when I'm tinkering with the car, LOL!  Must remember to have a look when I change my springs!

right av investigated further and i need soem expertise advice from u guys...

i found that when i do full lock to either left or right i get like a rubber on plastic or plastic on plastic belt squeek noise , but its only when the wheel is turned about 90% to left or right its like a squeeky rubbing noise, i showed i to my mechanic and he said the tensioner unit on the end of the engine which has the belt runnign on it is knackered as its not still and its vibrating up and down and therefore the belt is jumpin gon it , the proper name he called the part was soem thign along the lines of belt unit or auxillary unit or something liek that.


does this sound about right what my mechanic is telling me ?

it costs 44 quid from pages and about twnety to fit,

any help much appreciated.
