I'd appreciate some pointers to locate a problem.
Rover 25, W Reg (~yr 2000), 3dr hatchback, 97k miles
Over the course of the last two weeks, a squeeking/squealing has developed initially from the front driver side wheel but now also the front near-side wheel. There is no noise for the first fifteen to twenty minutes of driving. The noise is exacerbated or abates depending on the position of the steering wheel and cornering. After a good 30 minutes driving, the noise has become near continuous, particularly when driving above 50mph for that time. The noise goes away under hard braking. The noise abates or changes volume or pitch when feathering the brake pedal.
The first time these symptoms started, I was driving at speed on a long journey and stopped the car. There was a terrible smell of burning from the Driver side front wheel. The AA couldnt find a problem.
Could anyone suggest possible causes or help narrow these down before I actually start work. I have little experience but have a Haynes Manual as a guide once I know what the problem is.
Many thanks Mark
