306 acceleration noise - scfc_151
i have a 2001 306 hdi that when i pull of it has this horrible 'grinding' sound on the drivers side front.

It sort of sounds like when you get wheel spin on gravel.

It happens when i pull off but all when the clutch is fully released, if i slow down and then accelerate it also happends upto 2nd gear. This leads me to think its not the clutch

I checked that the cv joint wasnt dry but i cant think what it is.

I have some play in the rac end of the track rod which will be fixed but i dont think that this would cause a noise on acceleration would it?

any ideas?
