Yesterday I noticed my car had started making a strange noise. At first I thought it was a flat tyre because of the sound but checked this and all tyres were well inflated.
It sounds a bit like it's grinding and knocking from the front right at the same time and only comes on when you're holding constant speed or lift off the accelerator... When accelerating and braking the noise vanishes. I haven't had time to have a proper look yet, the only real test I've thought to do was to lift off and press the clutch (to check it want this making the noise) and this doesn't change the sound at all...
Any pointers/ideas what it could be or what to look at would be appreciated.
