I recently brought a Ford Feista Style

And being a typical girl i know nout about cars

So i thought joining would help me :)

When i start my car, it all sounds normal.

However when its running, and i go to leave, it tends to make a grinding noise, im hoping its not the clutch or anything.

And my tyres seem to get battered a bit, im guessing thats the dirt track i go down everyday.

Any ideas, Thankyou :)
