The abs ring isnt rubbing against the bottom ball joint or abs sensor is it?

Do they all sound smooth when rotating? failing that its probably your differential

Sorry my speakers on my laptop are rubbish so i cant really hear anything, but i had the same thing you describe. Have you checked the wheel bearings?

I had the same thing you describe it was damaged diff teeth on one of the sun gears

Ahh yes. there is a large 2a one. I just removed it and found the fuse broken. When the column dropped it must have shorted the wire, blowing the fuse. Thanks for the help.

On my fuse box cover my 5amp fuse is for central locking etc not UCH and has 12volts going through it. Are you sure thats the correct one?

Ah thanks ill run a new wire from the fuse. cheers

I was removing my steering column earlier to re-centre my steering wheel (long story), and it fell putting pressure on the decoder ring wiring (black wire, brown wire and red wire. I have found the earth (black) to be ok and the brown wire to also be ok but there is a break in the red wire...

I have taken the drive shaft out already to see if it was the drive shaft making the noise, which it wasnt. The circlip looks fine but I dont understand how the noise can only happen when the passenger side is turning? Surely if the diff bearings were bad it would make a noise even when the...

Sorry about putting this in the wrong place. Can a mod please move it.

Ive just got my clio back on the road after installing the new engine and box. On the test drive i heard a wiring noise from the passenger side. Ive found that with the passenger drive shaft off and the car in gear the passenger side diff makes a loud wiring noise. The drives side doesnt do it...
