First post here so hello all.
I bought a 1992 106XN 1.0 with 92k on the clock a couple of weeks ago and after four or five hundred miles I'm becoming more and more aware of a nasty sound from somewhere at the front of the car. At first I thought it was a wheel bearing but I now think it maybe be something a little more fatal.
There's what may be desribed as a grindy / squeaky noise that is dependant on the revs. It is at its loudest when I lift off the accelerator and the car is coasting in gear; for instance going down hill or slowing on a motorway sliproad. To my untrained ear it sounds like the gearbox or somewhere in the bottom end of the engine that's at fault. Does anyone have an opinion on what would be most likely to be could be causing this?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
