[ROVERNET - UK] noise from underneath

[Ron Venter]

Henning,
             How old are the tyres? It is surprising how much noise 
they can make when the rubber starts getting a bit hard. New tyres 
transformed my wife's P6.
                         Regards,
                                         Ron V.
