[Shahel]

when im parking with my foot on the brake and doing a full lock theres a loud grinding noise from the rear left wheel i caught the inside of the wheel last night while trying to park on a pavement, what damage could have happend to make that noise anyone else come accross this.

also i have another leak from the front near the washer but thats bone dry as it leaked out a few weeks back what else could be leaking there??

Re the rear wheel. I'd get a look under the rear of the car before you drive it anywhere. If there is anything seriously wrong you should be able to spot it.

Re the leak. The breather for the cooling system expansion bottle resides down the passenger side chassis leg. CHECK YOU STILL HAVE COOLING WATER!
