Hello MINI people!

I am still getting a strange rubbing noise when I drive between 0 - 10 mph. Its getting really frustrating now, I cant figure out what it is

Its like a grinding noise every time the wheel rotates.

Does anyone else have this problem, and if so did you get it solved?

It seems to come and go, so I'm not sure if its the tyre expanding in different temperatures causing it to rub somewhere - This is what the dealer told me, but looking under the car I cant see any close points where it could rub, except between tyre and shock absorber (front).

Its getting me down now

every day when I drive on the car park it sounds really stupid (like a choo choo train!)

Any help or advice would really be appreciated!
