Hi

 

My 1983 Mayfair has started making the most awful rattle / crunching noise from the offside front.

It sounds like someone has put nuts in the hub cap - they haven't !

 

The noise is there even when I coast downhill in neutral with the engine switched off.

I can't see anything obvious underneath.

 

Any ideas please ?

 

Geoff

Have you checked the backplates on the brake disk, the brackets break and they sound terrible when they rattle.
If you have a welder a quick tack will usually sort it although a lot of people remove them if it's your problem.
Good luck
