Technical full right lock scraping noise help

[steveandlisa]

Hello,

I now own a coupe(16V)!!! The only thing I can fault with it is on full right lock and turning I get a scraping noise. Scraping I think maybe the best way I can describe it I guess. Only happens on a right turn. Any advice would be really gratfull. I will say the car has only done 800 miles since Nov 05, does this matter?

One small other thing is the right indicater does not work ocasionally, would this be a flasher unit?

Thanks

Steve

Not sure about the indicator, but one of the common Coupe faults is that there's a stone/heat guard near to the bottom ball joint (I think), to protect it from heat from the brakes. This guard often gets slightly bent, so it scrapes the brake disks when on full lock. I reckon that's the most likely cause.

Are you running aftermarket alloys? what size if so?

 

[steveandlisa]

I think they must be 17 inch alloys, not standard
