Finally got to the bottom of my tapping issues:D After getting my GF to drive it back and forth whilst I waited on the pavement we concluded it was coming from the drivers side front wheel.

After having a proper look at the wheel I found a pebble which had got lodged proper deep in the grip of the tyre. Took it out and drove and is by magic the tapping stopped.

So Im proper chuffed now cos its been doing my swede in big time trying to work it out. The tread of the tyres are quite wide on the goodyear eagles so I know now to check for stones lodged.

So if anyone has goodyear eagle F1's gsd 3's and suddenly develops a tapping noise, Theres a fair chance you have a stone of some sort wedged proper tight in there:redface:
