    Humming/droning sound - don't think wheel bearings

    Hi, I have an annoying low droning sound that seems to be coming from the rear of the car. It is linked to roadspeed not engine speed, and raises in pitch with speed, but then beyond 40mph seems to stay at the same level. Everything you read about suggests rear wheel bearings, but there is...

    Refreshing rear suspension

    Hi - probably a dumb question, but if I want to get #478 feeling as "new" as I can, and i'm already all-in for a BG damper refurb, assume it makes sense to do the rears as well. Original sachs rears seem to be £105 as well - questions are: - Just the shocks, or make sense for Springs as well...

    Squeak from steering?

    I test drove a 182 Cup today and I liked it although there was an occasional squeak , it sounded like it came from the steering when cornering hard, maybe sounded like a power steering kind of noise. Is this a common problem? I've also read in various adverts about the dephaser being done...
