HI my mate has the above car and it makes the most terible noise from the front end as we drive along. it squeaks and knocks at the least bump or when going slow, have tried turning the radio up, but we can still hear it. looked underneath, nothing broken. cant find any grease nipples like on the old cars so cant lube it all up? neather sound is constant, just very anoing, what can we do to shut it all up? thanks.

Agreed. HJ does not rate them either. A friend recently purchased an 5year old JTD Stilo in 'excellent' condition, it broke down on his way over to show it to me! The AA man did not have anything positive to say about these cars either, in fact he was pretty scornful towards Stilos in general. Thankfully my friend was able to return the car & received his money back from the trader.
