Grinding noise on Ford Focus - what should I do?
I own a 2012 Ford Focus Titanium 1.6 PowerShift. The car has an intermittent noise that occurs from the front nearside wheel of the car. It is a scraping or grinding noise and happens at 40mph.
I have taken the car back to the garage where I bought it, but their advice is to run the car until it gets louder. The vehicle is under warranty and I’m not happy, have you any suggestions?

Demand that a mechanic from the garage goes out in the car with you and hears the noise and analyses what it is.
