== Noises whilst Driving == '''Grinding Noises''' ''Stones'' - could be stones caught between the brake disc and the brake pad. Do you have unexpected circular grooves ground out of the disc? Since the wheel is moving forwards, sometimes a quick reverse can dislodge the stone. Failing that, remove the wheel and take out the brake pad ''Wheel Bearings'' - When mine went, I got a grinding, whirring noise that was related to car speed, not engine speed. It was there even when I depressed the clutch and the noise 'wound down' in pitch as the car coasted to a halt. Can also manifest itself when turning either left or right, indicated a problem side. '''Clunking''' my (standard) 111R has just developed a worrying road speed clunk from the rear. It's only noticeable a really slow speeds (2-10mph) and is even accompanied by a slight 'catching' sensation. It sounds to me like driveshafts? Figured it out - it's a sticky rear caliper that binds slightly every revolution.
