I first noticed it yesterday a noise that sounded like a stone stuck in with the brake pad but it soon went of it's own accord so I ignored it. A few hours later the noise returned but what appeared to be a lot louder, luckily I had a friend with me who was able to jump out and decide that it sounded like it was coming from the offside front wheel it was doing the noise at very low (crawling) speeds.
Drove it back home and I can't say I noticed the sound, drove it to work this morning no noise, drove it home again and about another 30 miles on dual carriageway and the noise has come back but it seems to be bad like the second time I heard it. I'm sure I can feel the noise through the underside of the car, it seems to be linked to roadspeed but not wheel speed (gearbox/prop?).
It might just be my imagination but it also feels like it pulls to the left when braking gently which I'm 99.9% certain it wasn't doing previously.
I'm going to drive to work very carefully in case the wheel does fall off or something (have checked it and it's fine..) and put it on a ramp and have a look around to see if there is a stone in there or as I suspect something else more expensive has broken. I shall report my findings.
In the mean time, has anyone else had this problem before?
A google search brought up this thread which sounds like what I'm experiencing.
