Hi,
I have recently purchased a 1998 XJR which had been standing for 2 years, it had failed its MOT on welding, no brake lights and rusted brake pipes ( all now fixed) on my now driving the car on the road for the first time I have noticed a quite loud noise from the rear of the car ... its hard to describe, but a bit like I was dragging a cardboard box around ! it increases with road speed, It seems to reduce after a while but is still there and it seems to reduce when I am accelerating . Any ideas ?
I have also noticed a slight smell of hot 'burning ' oil probably off the silencers ,next to the car after a run ( might be brake fluid after the brakes where bled ?)
Any ideas would be appreciated
