Hi All,
Any ideas what this noise could be on the Roadster? It only happens occasionally but when it does, it is always after I take my foot off the throttle, not straight away, and always as I take a slight right hand bend in the road and doing 30 to 50 ish.
The best way I can describe it is the kind of noise you'd get when running over an already flattened coke can lying in the road, or the sort of noise you'd get from quickly shorting out the terminals on the battery with a screw driver. It's that quick, might do it once or twice, and not happen again.
The car doesn't falter in any way, no misfire, there's no smell of burning, and I had someone following to see if they could detect anything.
Can't see anything shorting, wheel bearings feel ok, and the noise appears to come from under the offside of the car.
The alternator is on that side, but seems ok.
It happened again, yesterday, on the way back from Anglesey, coming down a hill into the town, I took my foot off, no braking, very slight bend to the right doing about 40, and did it twice.
Any thoughts???
