E. G - Brake disc backing plate rubbing on brake disc - sounds like terrible wheel bearing failure or a loose caliper/binding brakes. Fixed in 3 secs with a pair of pliers. post yours here.  |

Forgetting to remove mudflaps on seriously slammed car.
Resultant scraping over speedbumps and around corners causes worry. Until you realise what it is!!

When the clip breaks that holds the guide tube for the handbrake cables on a Mk1 Golf, letting the tube flap loose and getting caught in the wheel... Sounds like the rear wheel is about to fall off, yet is easily fixed with a cable tie |

Sounds like a dodgy oil level sensor. New mercs do it all the time, even if its 0.1 of a litre under max.

Intermittent bleeping and oil light flashing on three year old Caddy...dunno if it's serious yet I'll tell you in a few months. oil level.... the beeping happens over 2000rpm if the light is on. most likely a dodgy sensor but my G40 used to do it when exiting motorways on tight curving sliproads at 70mph.... accompanied by me crapping myself you've not put a rev counter instrument panel in a non-revcounter caddy have you? that'll make it do it too. |

 I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like. |

I wass going to post that.........it just seems to be the first few seconds of turning the engine over mine does it though! aaaah maybe mine is about to implode then.....! actually i've got a confession. i ragged it home last night and as i sat at some traffic lights, slightly downhill facing, at idle the oil light was flashing. as soon as i pulled away it went out but i thought i'd best check it wasn't just thin oil on a slope.... nope. bone dry!! it's a bit quieter now - cos it's a noisy engine anyway i don't notice it getting gradually louder. |
