should i be worried????
Hi all, just got my 90 xs last week thursday from new. I noticed today driving up the M6, that in 5th gear i started to get a little knocking sound from the driverside wheel... As soon as i switched into 6th, the sound disappeared?? I'm hoping its nothing as the car is new and probably needs to be worn in a little possiblly?? hopefully??? I will check again this evening on the way home and see if a similar situation occurs!

Another problem Ive had, or should i say worry.. is that after driving around for a little while especially at 50mph above I start getting a very slight plasticky burning smell? which sort of fades away? And sometimes you can smell it slightly when you park up and get out? Is this down to the 90 being new? as its only got 150miles so far on the clock?

I hope some one can alleviate my concerns or i will be driving the 90 through the showroom window of the dealer into the managers office, over his desk and then politely ask him to look at it for me Wink "Innocence proves nothing, as there is no such thing as innocence, only degress of guilt"

"....hope some one can alleviate my concerns or i will be driving the 90 through the showroom window of the dealer into the managers office, over his desk and then politely ask him to look at it for me"
Or you could park outside the premises with a sign on your vehicle saying "PEST CONTROL EXPERTS" or "DEBT COLLECTION SPECIALIST" Mr. Green
