Grinding/scraping sound when reversing?

[seasmi]

Same here. Only noticed it recently and sounds a bit like a stick dragging under the passengers side. Only in reverse, with or without brakes and only when cold. Have it in to the dealer soon so they can have a look then! Auto by the way!

Hay Guys In answer and what possible cause may be is the Exhaust Shrods seems tobe a common VE fault onece heated and the sheild is warmer the noise goes away I have this on my car and was found tobe Exhaust as I thought it was the auto trans turns out not not really a big job but HOLDEN didnt want todo the job as car was 4000ks out of warranty so they claim even thou the 60ths came with 5 year factory warranty. Good luck hope all goes well.

I had that happen. Took me ages to sought out what it might have been but in the end it was a rubbish bin under the car. I must have backed over it... :whistling

Perfect excuse to put an exhaust on it now

Not only will the noise disappear, but you'll get all the boys trying to race you at the lights in their V6's. Then you can give them a bit of girl power with your 6 litre

Haha, the best part of owning a clubsport is the looks from ppl when they see a girl driving it.

Even better when I take off at the lights & they see the baby toys swinging in the back window

You should start a thread on your Clubby. They're a nice car
