Halloween's nearly here, but some of the scariest sounds in Bracknell don't come from trick-or-treaters. They come from under the bonnet. Here's what those noises usually mean.
The screech
A high-pitched squeal when you brake usually means worn brake pads. Don't leave this one.
The groan
A grinding or groaning noise when you turn the steering wheel can point to power steering or suspension trouble.
The clunk
A knock or clunk over speed bumps is often a worn suspension part, such as a drop link or bush.
The howl
A humming or howling that gets louder with speed can be a wheel bearing on its way out.
The hiss
Hissing from the engine bay after a drive could be a coolant leak.
