Hiya,
I have noticed that when driving the vehicle for a long distance (driving for over 45 mins) the car begins to make a grinding noise however it is on and off, not constant and when i then park the car and begin a journey again shortly after, the noise has stopped until i continue a long distance again.
The sound is never made when completely short distance journeys, what could this be?
Thanks

Could be coming from the axle bearings or the brakes
