Last week I noticed a rattle everytime I change gear at 40mph in second gear to third. The noise is coming from the drivers side at the front of the car.

Does anyone know what this could be?
Is it anything to worry about?
 
I went fishing on a river last sunday and I had to drive on a track, grass on either side and grass in the middle. (And getting my tyres extremely mucky with mud and cow-muck) I remember when coming back and hearing a scuffing noice from the bottom of the car. I got out and looked under the car and there was a peice of grass stuck underneath. (Had to get out cus I had to see what route I was going to take to avoid going in to a muddy puddle lol)

When I had my engine oil changed, Kwik-Fit said that the exhuast was going, there was a slight hole in the front pipe......They car does blow a tiny bit. I'm not going to replace it until it gets worse.

THe noise also could be the tyre trim!! ?
 
Yes I have thought about patching the hole up, but as I said, its not that urgent at the moment. It passed its MOT ok, so the exhaust must not be going yet.


I will have to try taking the trim off and go for a short drive and see if I hear anything then.
