Hi all,
1997 mk3 Rover 200Si 1.6 k series 40K milesWhen checking my tyre pressures the other day (they were all fine, and always kept at correct pressure) I noticed that the outer surface of my front passenger side tyre was worn right down, whereas the rest of the tyre's surface was still almost at full tread. The other 3 tyres on the car have all worn evenly across the surface.
What does this mean? Is an adjustment to the tracking required?
-----------------
Also, for the last 5,000 miles or so my engine sounds very rattly when accelerating/under load, probably tappet noise.
It's much worse when cold but never really goes away completely when warmed up. Even after a 250 mile motorway journey at high speed over the weekend, the noise was still evident with the windows down. The car still drives fine.
Is there anything I can short, save taking it to a dealer? I put a bottle of wynns valve gear cleaner in it before the long trip hoping it would free up any stuck tappets. I didn't hold uo much hope since this stuff is usually snake oil, and sure enough it has made bog all difference :(
Thanks all
