My beloved Punto is a tad poorly
It's making a wierd 'droning' noise - i'm convinced it's either from the front or middle of the car, definately not the back. It only happens when moving, I can sit in stationery traffic with the car ticking over and all sounds fine.
When it decides to make the noise (can be at any speed), it can be heard over the radio, or can be barely heard at all - I can be doing 60mph and all of a sudden the noise goes away
One thing I noticed though is that when I braked and dropped a gear to go round a corner, the noise changed too. If I stop the car (but not turn off the engine), the noise goes away :bang:
The car does have a little oil leak, but it's monitored and topped up regularly. The timing belt was changed at 70k, it's now got 104k on it... it is due a service but other than that i'm clueless, any ideas
