I have just noticed a problem my offside front wheel. When under load [ie turning left at any reasonable speed] the level of noise increases, like a loud tyre roar. The car tracks straight and behaves in all other respects [no excessive or uneven tyre wear], and there are no other obvious...

Hi Gents, my W124 E220 lost all power at 30mph and I was lucky enough to be near a lay-by. God bless the RAC, they were there in 10 mins, the guy had a look, spun the engine with the oil cap off and said Oh Dear, your cam ain't turning. Anyhow the guy towed me home and out came the socket set...

While fitting new brakes at the weekend, I found a problem with one of the front wheel bearings. I had jacked up the car, and felt the wheels prior to the MOT, and found them all OK. The car passed its MOT that morning just before I began to replace the brakes. Even with the wheel off, and...

I was getting a "bang" noise from the centre/rear of my car in transition of gears. It then evolved into a very severe also "banging" sound and it would also shove the car forward, felt like getting hit in the back by another vehicle. So i took the car to a trusted indy, and he told me that...

Hi, I've read some old posts about adjusting front wheel bearings. The general consensus is to tighten the clamp until the wheel binds, then loosen it slightly so the wheel is free to rotate. But others say this job is too easy to get wrong and run the risk over heating the bearings, causing...

I've got a nasty noise coming from the front of the engine which at worst is a pulsing screeching and at best is a pulsing (light) grinding. Sounds like a pulley bearing failing. Took it to the garage and they reckon probably idle pulley bearing but not sure. Contenders I guess are alternator...
