Having just returned from a foriegn trip while driving home I heard a noise that can only be described as driving with a flat tyre. On stopping the car and looking around all tyres and wheels appear ok. There is no noise when the vehicle is stationary but starts as soon as you move off any ideas uk mechanics are notorious for mmmmmmm mmmmmmm sounds like could be........ any ideas greatly appritiated
Have you checked the wheel nuts are tight? Have you had a puncture/repairs/servicing lately?

Could be any number of things, and without seeing the car it's impossible to say.
However possibilities might be- Brakes worn Brake backing plate rubbing Something wrapped around a drive shaft Wheel loose Wheel bearing Gearbox fault
Plus many more....
Thanks for all the replys. I'm not a moter person but the car has just had a mot befor I left and although all the nuts were on and appeared tight they wern't quite tight tight enough. Off to see garage in morning to read the riot act.
Once again thanks lads
If you drove any distance with loose wheel nuts and a rattling wheel, there's a good chance that either the wheel, wheels studs, nuts, are worn to the extent of needing to be replaced. Mike.
