Right... apart from my bloody Miltek rattling ive developed another noise...

Im getting a whuring sound from the front end... you knwo the sound when the wheel bearings go?

Ive checked the wheels for wobble... nothing!

Anyone else had this problem?

could be a number of things, probably a bearing (wheel, turbo, etc.)

It could just be tyre noise either.
Try swapping the front and back wheels to see if it still comes from the front.

Always try the free diagnostics first... :D

mine had a horrendus droning noise from the front end a while back. there was no play in the wheel bearings but if u started the car and left it on tick over in first with the front off the ground i could hear the bearings rumbling. replaced wheel bearings and has been fine ever since.
