I know a few of you guys on here have cars other than an RRS's so I wanted to know if any of you know of a good Porsche forum specifically for Boxsters??

I drove my old man's Boxter last night and it was making strange noises sounded a little like a scraping/whining sound when taking corners (either left or right)!!

I know this probably isn't your area of expertese but who knows someone may have also had this problem or may be able to direct me to a site that can help.

Oh and if it helps it's an 03 plate 'poverty model' (2.7) with fpsh and only done 35,000 so wouldn't expect it to have suffered too much abuse?? This car has prob been standing for 6 months could this have anythign to do with it??

Very OT i know but if any of you wise and wonderful RRS people out there can help it would be much appreciated

Have you tried burning off the brakes? If it's been stood for six months you could just have a bit of rust on you discs. The pads will touch if there is the tiniest amount of play in the bearing (and make a scraping noise). If the noise stops when braking then thats it. Give the brakes a good bed in and see how it is after that. Range Rover Sport HSE DYnamic SDV6 Velocity blue 2020 MY

Thanks for the information and to be honest that's exactly what it sounds like but i just can't understand why it would only do it round the corners rather than the whole time but as you say if there's a little play in the bearings that could be my answer

I'll give it a go tonight and see if that cures the problem
