Strange hub noise
Went for a drive out in the 75 this afternoon after being stood for around a month, but its developed a strange noise from the passenger side rear wheel. It was fine when i parked it up a month ago but as i moved it today i could hear what can only be described as a vibrating noise, so took the wheel off and spun the hub round - can only think it is a bearing?

Try your spare on the car and go for a drive , if the noise isnt present then its your tyre.
If its still there then check the wheelbearing |

Does it change when you go round corners...?
You could also try swapping the tyres front to back as well.

Did you park with the handbrake on for a month? maybe it's rusted solid or your cable is stuck on?
