Interesting theory - why would it make a difference?

Btw I've noticed another new noise rolleyes - this time when I drive off in the garage - makes a low humming noise when I turn left. I can only hear it when I drive off, and no other time.

Linked perhaps?

I just tried it at my parent's place and no humming. So maybe that garage theory isn't silly afterall - maybe its cursed?

If that's the case shouldn't it hum all the time instead of just during the initial drive off?

maybe its cursed?

I think the car (rather than the garage) is cursed - something dropped onto the roof this morning (think it was a massive nut from a tree) and dented the bloody roof. QUOTE]

Is everything bigger in Aus!?

Bigger snakes, sharks, spiders, rocks and now car denting nuts!

I heard the "plop" and I thought "That's not a good sound.." - must had been a freaking massive nut traveling at an insane velocity

Kev have you ever considered public transport?

CityRail is actually my main mode of transport and given how many people complain about them they're still more reliable than a Fiat

Just noticed this - when I accelerate slowly to a crawl, then stay at that speed, I hear this noise which I can only describe as a soft metallic scrapping (like rubbing two pieces of metal back and forth), and goes away as I pick up speed.

Anyone else have this, and is it normal?

Ok, this has turned to something like a tickling/water gushing sound (like the sound after new coolant has been added, but not as loud). Any ideas, or what should I be checking for besides fluid levels?

Fuel slopping about in the tank?

I do think you are starting to hear/feel things that aren't there or are just normal car noises but have become paranoid that something is about to go wrong!

You know, you're most likely right. If I had a $1 every time someone said "You're paranoid" I would be living in a chteau somewhere in France now
