   Hi lads,
   
   just a quick one i bought my little 1.1 saxo desire x reg a couple of weeks ago and it has developed a few wired nosies just wanted a bit of advice on what may be wrong.
   
   1, When i brake gently i get a slow knocking noise.
   
   2, When turning right i also get a knocking nosie.
   
   3, After a while i get a creeking nosie from the passenger side of the car.
   
   can anyone suggest what may be the problem i think it may be the drive shaft?
   
   Thanks for looking lads.

   Think you've hit the nail on the head, sounds like a driveshaft

   When you buy a car, you'll have to expect a couple of niggles. I always have a budget to face eventual nasty surprises when I get a new one. I always had the odd brake pads or discs, service, cambelt or pair of tyres, you name it. A driveshaft is not too bad...
