Hey guys,
just back from a month in Thailand and the car has been a complete headache! Firstly the battery was dead when I got back, but going by threads on here thats a common enough problem when left for a while.
But now was just on way to see mates, too her to the motorway, everything was fine and when I hit above 65-70 even in 6th gear I was getting a REALLY LOUD vibrating sound coming from what seemed on the rear wheel area on passenger side.
I can only discribe the sound as someone putting a ruler inside the spokes of a tyre and constant loud vibrating plastic'y sound.
At first I thought it was coming from the boot, so I took my bags and jacket from the cargo net and put them in the passenger seat, pulled off the hard shoulder and as soon as I got into 5th gear it started up again.
Pulled over again, checked inside and outside the car, even checked the rear numberplate to see if it was that that was vibrating ... everything solid, pulled away, kept below 60 for ages and no sound, put a bit more on the gas and it started up clear as day, like very loud!
This cat and mouse game of pulling onto the hard shoulder lasted about another 20 miles before I turned home as wasnt too confident on the 110 mile journey.
Any suggestions as Im going mad, everything seems solid under the car and inside the boot. Def coming from the mid rear to passanger rear side of the car, and very loud, but driving through town ... and nothing??
