Has anyone experienced a strange grinding / scraping noise from the front left of the engine bay when driving? Its very similar to when you go through a deep puddle that drenches the wheel arch. I've heard it two or 3 times now the most recent was when the front wheels locked temporarily when I skedded in snow. Could it be anything to do with the ESP or LSD?

New owner, so all advice or thoughts appreciated. There is still a month left on my warranty so if you think it may be a problem I'd like to get it sorted asap

Thanks, Andrew

The ESP does make a funky noise when it's activated. Sounds like a grinding / electronic grinding noise. It's wierd.

It's the ABS unit kicking in. The ABS modulator makes a metallic-like clicking noise when it's doing it's stuff - nothing to worry about.

Thanks chaps.

Not used to such hi-tech gadgetry with being an Elise owner!
