women reversed into me in a carpark smashing in front wing and door (insurance covering this though HERS)
and now on way home, feel like a twang in the drivers wheel and then it makes this really bad screeeching sound when u drive forward, really really loud like some things jammed in the brake. so call my dad out and turn the wheel a bit hear another twang and the screeching has stopped
somin deffo went wrong there
will take wheel off tomorrow and have a look, some thing must of come loose and falling i into the brake

Put petrol in it, tank drained = ?200 (?5 for petrol :-P )
New tyre due to wear caused by tracking = ?230
Tracking and Vehicle check service = ?170
New EGR Thermostat, new oil separator = ?60
New front brake sensor due to cowboy garage using old one when they changed the brakes = ?53
Removed intake flaps, bought tools for the job = ?50
Like you i still love the car, once the work is done then its on to other thing. Thermostat, Oil feed pipe for turbo (remove and clean or replace), change oil.....Oh and ipod adapter install + maybe a spoiler...

The small bits of gravel got stuck at the back of the brake disc inbetween the disc and the metal protection plate (it made one hell of a screeching, grating noise), I bent the plate a little to give a bit more room to allow gravel to fall out.
Hope this helps.

By the way russdx, your picture looks like your car is in a garage of crushed purple velvet. Where did you find all that velvet?

hehe
took the wheel off (does a car with run flats come with a jack? coz i couldn't find one lol)
any way took wheel off had a good look around the hub and couldn't see any thing, none thing was loose or hangin off or in the brake
very weird, i guess some peice of metal must of flicked up and landed in the brake? then fall away
doesn't explain the twang sound though hmmm
weird lol
