Phew! Thought My Mr2 Was Busted!

March 26, 2004

Last night I pulled onto my drive and there was a really nasty grinding sound coming form the front left of the car.. because it was dark I just left it and worried most of the night.

Came out to my car this morning and had a good laugh!

A stick had got caught between the mud guard and the inside of the wheel arch and was rubbing on the tyre on full lock!

Just started to spend money on body bits for my car and the last thing I wanted was this.

So after a nights worrying about my motor it was just a damn STICK!

Yea I had the same scare after 157mph on my own personal private road. Heard a massive scraping crunching sound on slowdown and sh@t me pants. Got out only to find the undertray under the front passenger side foglight had blown out scraping the ground. The relief was greater than peeing after a 4 hour non-stop journey

in my 1st week of ownership i was driving home one night and heard a constant flapping and banging noise that seemed to appear at speeds over 40mph.

pulled up had a look (in the dark) couldnt see a thing. joined the motorway, had to pull up again, and discovered that 1 of the plastic panels that cover loadsa stuff under the car had broken free from one of its brackets!

the relief :thumbsup:
