Had a bit to much fun in car at airfield - left with it making scrapping(metal on metal) noises when i turn left or turn right - as if the noise is comimg from just inside the rear wheels, depending on which way i'm turning - any thoughts please. Also, can anybody recommend a non opc garage in the Enfield area....thanks

Have a look underneath the car around the rear wheel as it could just be the suspension/brake guard. I recently had a spirited run over some local B roads and touched down slightly resulting in a similar sound, it turned out to be the guard as mentioned which had twisted and was rubbing on the inside of the rear wheel, it actually scraped and scooped the wheel weights from the wheel. confused

Took the wheel off and popped it back into place, popped the wheel down to the local performance tyre centre for balancing and everything is good again in the World of Pork. wink

yes More than likely a brake duct slipped along the bottom arm and catching the wheels or balance weights on lock.
