Its that time of the year the Mot's are due on both the Xantia and the Saab both within a week of each other and both need taxing at the end of the month too.
Bad planning
Now the issue I have with the Xantia is as follows: (I will do my best to describe) - on my HDI at low revs (more in third and forth) say around 1200rpm I have a vibration coming from the front n/s, now I thought it would be anti roll bar bushes or wishbone bushes, I have checked these this morning with a prise bar and they all feel tight.
The vibration sound like its metal to metal, but on putting the brakes on the noise disappears, also driving with the handbrake on its first notch there is no noise either (only did this for a very short time)!.
I have checked the disc and calipers as these were new and fitted by a local garage last year and again all feels tight.
Any idea's ?? could it be an engine mount ?
Or is it a visit to Malcolm's workshop ! Are you free Malcolm ?
