Hi,

I get a slight squeaking noise from the front wheel (drivers side) only when I am at slow speed or moving from a stationary position.

If I am going at over 5-10 mph I dont hear the noise even if I go over humps or uneven surfaces. The car has only done 2000 miles in the last year or so and hasnt been used for a couple of months that much.

Secondly, when I am driving the gearshift from 1st to second and second to first is a bit jerky when the car is cold. When its warm then its perfect.

I read somewhere this is a common problem is this true? Your help and advice will be greatly appreciated.

I changed the lower front straight arm and the noise dissapeared - also the gearbox oil is either low hence low pressure or needs a change - change filter aswell
