Hi all,
I'm using my P6 for a weekly commute to Southampton from South Lincolnshire. It's going ok so far, but I feel there's too much road noise at speed. It does detract from the refinement of the car somewhat. I wonder if it's front wheel bearings. There's a persistent drone that's not engine noise and not wind noise. The front wheels spin freely when turned by hand, but there is a noise as they spin. It sounds more like the pads dragging slightly, rather than a deep wheel bearing rumble. There's also slight play detectably at the 12 - 6 o'clock position on the drivers side. Is this an issue for the MOT? I know there's some play designed into the system.
Any suggestions?
