| noises than usual - it there seemed to be a slight drumming but I put it down to increased tyre noises noticed with hood up & windows down. On Thursday's run to Edinburgh, however, she ran perfectly - but drummed slightly - I had a good quiet run from Edinburgh here on Friday with one burst of speed on the deserted Glencoe Pass road which she did without any fuss whatsoever. However I thought at Invercauld which the drumming was rather worse & had her out with the floorboard up & my man is confident it is in the rear axle or bearings in front fit - the only other noticeable effect is a slight vibration distinctly felt in the gear lever | ||
