Hi guys,
I've just become the owner of 2009 100hp with 51k on it. Since I have had the car it has made a lot of noise - initially I thought it was a wheel bearing on the way out. Makes a droaning sound from about 20mph upwards. Got my mechanic to have a look at it and he said it was caused by tyres.
At this point I had Uniroyals on the front which have done about 20k and on the back the original F1s. I swapped the tyres front to back and although it has changed the noise a bit...volumes different at different speeds it is still really loud.
Wanted to see if anyone else has this issue or has experienced it. I don't want to go and shell out on new tyres to discover it is a characteristic of the car...
Other than this I am loving it!
Many thanks
