   i have got a noise coming from the front right of my saxo vts on s plate and it sounds like a dry bearing! changed the cam belt and the wheel bearings just wondering if its possibly an alternator?? also my air bag light comes on sometimes and not others! a sensor or more fatal?

   could be a number of things depending on what the noise is like
   Drive shaft, Track rod end, antiroll bar i dont think an alternator would make a noise tbh mate but not sure if i was the altenator just go in the engine bay rev it and if its making the sound listen where its comeing from as your rev it.

   try taking the alt belt off and running engine to check.Do you get the noise when you drive or just with engine running
