The car's making a slightly disturbing noise from the driver's side front axle (sp?) on left turns whilst accelerating from low speed. I have suspicions as to what may be causing this, but I don't want to think about it too much as I know if I'm right, it's going to be pricey to fix. I'm going to take it to the Renault garage sometime early and get them to look at it, give me a quote to fix whatever it is they claim is wrong, then ask about. It's not like there's a shortage of garages round here.

Only two job outings on tommorrow... a BK and a Dixons. Two phone calls as well but they're really quick.

Then it's back to work on Tuesday. That will be a fun return to work questioning session, I'm sure. I'm not at all sure I want to go back... even after being off sick, I've had a good week, much better than being at work - I'm certain of that.

Wheel bearing?

I'm hoping it's something as simple as that. Whilst I can't fix it myself due to lack of tools/space it should be cheap to do at any garage.

If there's no shortage of garages around, I'd suggest getting quotes from other places as well as from a Renault garage, presuming it's a dealership. When I've had car trouble in the past I've never failed to be absolutely astonished at the amount of money they can charge when compared to a more general garage company!

That's my plan. Get a quote from the Renault guys then ask about elsewhere.

When I got the driveshaft done at the dealership, I needed it done there and then, so just got them to do it. Over £300, IIRC. I'm certain that it could have been done for half that...
