Hiya people can anyone help got a curtesy car as mine is in being repaired (accident not my fault) but the curtesy car is a Kia Piccaso really really small.
But the thing is only got it yesterday drove home. Today had to drive it and a terrible terrible scary noise when turning left.....no idea what it is a really loud "horrible noise" like something grating I suppose is the best description.
I am going to phone them tomorrow but anyone any idea what it is please.....

God knows Emma but it sounds awful I am really dubious of it never heard anything like it in over 25 years of driving. I "trust" my cars but this thing is scary.

I had that problem with my new car at the beginning of this year Karen, sounds like exactly the same noise! It was something to do with the brakes.

It might be something fairly simple. Two weeks ago we heard a bang and then an almighty grating, scraping noise. The garage checked it out and found it was a small stone in the wheel which they removed free of charge!
