hi
I'm after some advise I took my 1988 110
Off road yesterday,which I do regularly no problem, went through a lot of mud and water ,after I went through a particularly deep puddle a metallic scraping noise appeared when moving ? Thought it might be a sone caught somewhere. Drove it this evening and it's still there , noisier on full lock???
Has anyone got any suggestions where to start looking please, I'm not particularly mechanical so any advise would be appreciated.
(The last week the handbrake light has come on all the time, just took this to be faulty switch , not sure if the above would be related??)
Cheers

Jack it up and spin each wheel, may be a stone trapped against a brake disc.

Cheers

Sounds like crap caught in the front callipers , or behind the mud shield. Handbrake light is probably an earth fault or short circuit somewhere. I don’t think UK OneTens actually had the sensor to activate the light, it was for some overseas markets.

Can you lend it to someone and blame them?

might be worth looking at your wheel bearings if it returns!
