Thank you for your rapid response (as the noise is driving me mad ).

When I turn the wheel, full lock towards the Kerb, I jump outta the car and peer inside the wheelArch (passenger side), the edge of the tyre is making contact with the Wheel Arch liner.

If U imagine staring at the Passenger wheel whilst it is still on full lock ,it makes contact with the Liner, not on the top or left side of the tyre ,but on the Right Hand side (towards front of car/bumper).
When I push on that contact Area with my hand, there does not appear to be anything behind it, as it bends inwards.
Also I can see 2-3 bolts in the area also, for the Liner or Bumper perhaps?
Can you get to that area from the engine bay? seems a long way from the engine bay.

Back in the dayZ of Fords and Vauxhalls, I would have taken a blunt hacksaw to it, problem solved!

I am obviously reluctant to do this to my beloved:-0)

Once again Thank you in advance.

VKR

Jai




: Jai, it is difficult to descibe this sort of thing in words.
: However. if you look at the wheel arch liner from inside the engine compartment, none of the soft squidgy liner should be indented in towards the wheel. If it is, you should be able to put you hand up inside the wheel arch and push the liner back out into its' original shape.

: It might have got pushed in towards the wheel by someone resting a hand on it as they reached into the engine bay.

: If that isn't it, try to give another descrition of where it is rubbing.

: Hope it helps.
