Well took the VXR in for its MOT a few weeks ago, well it passed with zero advisories which i'am chuffed about, current Mileage was '25853' at the time.
Also took it on a good 'spirited' drive to Wales on some ace roads i know and on 'Evo Triangle' took a few pictures as you do :smiley:

Maintenance by

Now, for that past few months and even more so now after Wales and even passing a MOT with zero advisories! i've had a slight 'Click/Clunk/Knock' or whatever you call it from the Front N/S, only happens every so often, i could be pulling of gently and it'll Knock, could be slowing down and just before the car comes to a stop, i'll get a Knock, it does that randomly then it could do it for a few days straight, its very frustrating, it even could do it when manoeuvring into car parks etc, again, every so often. I've also replaced the Drop Links to no avail, along with a slight 'Groaning/Whirring' noise that appeared aswell when travelling 30-60MPH which does point to a Wheel Bearing, So ordered one of ebay.
All the symptoms do point to a knackered Bearing, the obvious 'Groaning and Whirring' but also the car 'feels' loose to drive, like your having to keep your correcting it on the Motorway and the Steering Wheel Vibrates like your on some rough Tarmac, again every so often, also I've noticed after a longish journey one Wheel is hotter than the other, can feel the Heat, so I'am hoping the 'Knock/Clunk' noises is down to the Bearing being shot and causing movement, hence to low speed noises.
