Right , the first problem is a small anoying sound, like stones stuck in the tread if the tyres which increases with road speed .Have pulled off all 4 wheels to check for stones but none there .
The second problem is had a flat battery ,Let it charge all day at work , refitted battery but noticed that when engine is under load it starts to ping .
Has anyone else hand these problems ¿.
Thanks, Dave

1 prob, try wheelbearing...............
2nd prob, check your oil, put a injector cleaner in the fuel tank one that specifies stops pinging........

is it a ticking noise or shuddering? id suggest check ya wheel bearings as i recently had my drivers front done, n the noise is nowhere to be found since!

What about nails in the tyre, They are very hard to spot, I have had 3 in the last year, Bitch to find, Most annoying noise driving.

that is also a possibility, they may not be exposed when off the car, but when the tyre is spread under pressure(weight of car) it might be exposing it......... can you borrow a set of wheels from someone just to put on to see if the noise is still there? try that, then you'll know if its ya tyres or something on the car itself

That's a good idea..
One of mine went flat over night, I was lucky, But ones on the VP just made noise, Then one day i took the tyres to the tyre place, And they found one in there, Had to cut some of the tyre to remove it. But it's cheap to fix about $10 ?.

Loosen and tighten the wheel nuts evenly and gradually. if the wheel doesn't seat properly will cause this
