Hi,I have an other problem now (well think its a problem).The front wheels feel like they are dragging when reversing out of drive.
I have checked to see if they are rubbing on anything and they seem ok,so wondered if any body else has had this problem,thanks Ken.

If there's any play in the suspension it might only happen when the car is moving backwards and not be apparent stationary.

One way to track this sort of thing down is to clean the inside of the wheel arch and stick a few pieces of masking tape over the areas most likely to contact the wheel. Then drive back and forth a few times until you hear the noise. The masking tape will show whether/where there has been contact with the wheel.
