Hey everyone, Hoping for some collective wisdom here! My car has developed a really annoying squeak from the suspension, particularly noticeable over bumps and uneven surfaces. It sounds like it's coming from the front, but hard to pinpoint exactly. I took it into my local garage, explained the...

What would you recommend out of these 2...

That sounds much harder. I think I will just buy an old style pump and replace the head . Any recommendations on places to buy refurbished or is it much of a muchness? Thanks guys

Just a couple more questions if that's ok . Could I just replace the head with the 4 bolts ? , and leave the plastic bit where it is ? . Would the new style pumps be quieter? Thanks Dave

Would this fit ...

Hi my trusty old baxi 105e is starting to get a bit noisy, the sound is coming from the pump . I've noticed you can get loads of refurbished pumps on eBay for around £50 . Is it worth buying refurbished or am I better off buying a new one ? Thanks Dave

It could be a burning oil smell

Hi I just had my 2011 VW Polo in the garage for a service and MOT . Since I got it back I can smell fumes coming out of the air vents but only when I reverse. Any idea what it could be ? I looked under the car to see if the exhaust was damaged but it seems ok . Thanks

I had it jacked up with the wheel off on the weekend but I was just looking for stones in the guard around the disk . I'll jack it up again this weekend

Just a quick one , what do you think the garage will do to fix the squeak ? . I took it to my local garage with the same problem about 4 months ago and they changed all the disks and pads .

Hi John I did gently press the brake and the squeaking noise stopped. Does this mean it's definitely brakes related?

I'll give that a go but surely it shouldn't need it yet considering the pads and disks are only 3 months old. Thanks

Well after 3 months of noise free motoring my car has developed a squeaky brake noise . The strange thing is the squeaking only happens after around 5 minutes of driving and it squeaks mostly when I turn right. Any ideas before I head to the garage ( so I can point him in the right direction )...

It was a wheel bearing. Apparently it was only gone on one part if that makes any sense

It won't let me attach a MP3 file

They still haven't found the problem yet . They've told me to book it in next week and they will investigate further. I made a recording of the noise from my foot-well I'll attach it

I think they are still investigating. They are keeping my car tonight. He said he's going to remove the drive shaft to check it

The mechanic said the wheel was harder to spin than the good side when jacked up

What's the most expensive?

Hi again I eventually got back to the garage and they said it's either a driveshaft or a wheel bearing. Hopefully I find out tomorrow
