Booked in for Monday now 🤞

It did seem to be worse when turning right but not anymore. Had it to a mechanic who insisted wheel bearings were fine. I might revisit that with another mechanic TBF.

I thought 1.9 but I could be wrong.

Um... It's a 6 speed. No flappy paddles but can use the gearstick as a sequential shifter. So I guess so. Never had the box serviced whilst we've had it. I have wondered about the box myself but the noise doesn't change if I shift to Neutral whilst rolling, so I thought maybe not? 🤔

Thanks. The noise definitely comes from the front though and all tyres wear evenly. It's very strange. One to think on thought, cheers.

Hi all. I'm new here, so I hope this is allowed... We've had a 58 plate Roomster now for around 8 or 9 years and it's always... always always always, made a weird scrubbing sound when driving. It gets higher pitched as speed increases and is at it's worst around 45-50mph. It sounds like a wheel bearing but there's no play in the wheels and a mechanic has confirmed the wheel bearings are ok. It sometimes goes away when new tyres are fitted but it always comes back. I've had the tracking done, no difference (although it was miles out). I also wondered if it could be the transmission (it's auto), but if I shift to Neutral the noise doesn't change. So perhaps not? Any ideas? It's driving me mad. I can usually diagnose and often fix faults with cars myself, but I'm at a loss with this one.
