Hi everyone,
Just joined this forum to get some advice on my 2000 Peugeot 306 LX 5-door hatchback, if it's not too cheeky to ask!
When I start the car and pull away after it’s not been used for a couple of days, it bumps once like I’m driving out of a big hole or over a speed bump, but pulls away fine. Today, I started it and pulled away after not using it for 6 days and it was like I was trying to drive off with a clamp on my wheel or a flat tyre – the whole vehicle was juddering violently and it wouldn’t go anywhere. I got out to have a look and there was nothing hanging off, and the tyre wasn’t flat, but there were scrape marks along the ground where I’d been. I tried again and the same thing happened. Got out for another look, got back in and tried again and it drove off no problem. It drives fine when it gets going and has just had about £300 spent on getting it through its MOT, with nothing picked up relating to the wheels or suspension.
I know I’ll have to take it to a mechanic but it would be great to get an idea of what might be wrong in advance so I don’t go in like a total mug and get blagged it’s something it’s not (got my doubts about the only mechanic near me!)
Thank you so much for any help you can offer
