Hi guys,

Had recently taken my car to have an air-lock unblocked. Drive back had no issues, roof off, all good. Then in the last few weeks I have noticed that when I accelerate or drive over 20-30mph there is a quite loud 'flapping' noise coming from outside the car.

Someone suggested it may be a loose bearing but it just does not sound like that. Is the only solution to put it on a rack and check everything?? Or has anyone got any ideas??!?! Does not seem problematic but with a Tuscan everything minor soon becomes an issue! Thanks

Possibly the bird in the passenger seat? - sorry.

something stuck in/on one of your tyres would do this

Thanks guys. Turns out on the front off side tyre I had a small (1.5 inch by inch) flap of tyre. Not very deep, about 0.5cm so i cut it free with a knife. It is on the outside of the tyre, about 1 inch from the alloy but I guess I should probably get a set of front tyres? They are pretty worn already...
