Wondered if any of u would have any ideas to help me....My mini has got a squelchy noise coming from the drivers side front wheel. We have checked the tyre pressure to see if it is a puncture but the air is staying the same and the light hasnt come on in the car!!!!! (i have runflats) We took it off today to have a look and nothing seems to be wrong. I hit a pothole a few weeks back but the wheel isnt buckled or bulging or anything its just making this noise. We also swapped the back wheel to the front but the noise continues from the front, so im guessing its not the wheel but another problem ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Any help would be very much appreciated, thanku in advance Janoose xxxx  [ Edited Sat Jan 03 2009, 03:32PM ] | ||
