So I'm cruising down my local dual carriageway at <strike>120</strike> 70, and all of a sudden the wind noise gets very much louder. I slow down. There's lots of horrid noise. Oh.
Even on the town roads limping back home, there's horrid noises, and I'm convinced the engine is shagged.
Luckily, I find out that all that happened, is the driver-side wheel-arch-lining came loose, got thoroughly shredded by the tyre, and is now composed of bits of noisy plastic/hardstuff rattling and catching everywhere...
So it could have been much worse. 2 questions remain now.
1) Does anyone know of a decent garage in the Plymouth (Devon) area - there's one main Nissan dealer, but I'm not sure if I want to use them.
2) Is there anything I can do in the meantime to stop it knackering anything else. I've folded the bits back, and it's fine for low speed, but I have quite a few trips planned this next week. I'm thinking of just removing it, but not sure if that's safe.
Thanks for any help.
Michael.
