I have a 2003 Ford Fiesta 1.4

Passed my test earlier this year and this is my first car.

For the most part it great but recently, its started making a twanging/clunking noise when i set off.

It sounds like its coming from the back wheels, towards the off side.

It only seems to do it the first time i set off in the day, say 9.00 in the morning, once ive set off once its fine the rest of the day.

any advice would be appreciated, i have no clue, past basic maintainance, im lost.

cheers!

 

Could be a sticky handbrake cable/handbrake mechanism

 

Thanks, i thought about that was not sure, is that a major issue? could it damage the car if left un-fixed?

 

It could be the adjusters on the rear shoes, I expect the shoes could be knackered and need replacing. I'd have the rear brakes stripped down for inspection!

 

Might be the past asking for its saying back..... "setting off"

 

Well what would you rather i said?
