Ticking noise on 1st, 2nd gear or neutral

[vokey_sg]

Hi All

I'm experiencing a ticking noise that appears to be coming from the front right wheel on 1st, 2nd gear or neutral when I'm driving on a very smooth surface(eg. a cemented car park). This occurred after a tyre shop removed my wheels by knocking them out with a wooden block as they locked onto the centre ring adapter.

Has anyone experienced this before? I hope it is not a problem with the drive shaft.

Your comments and feedback is much appreciated.

When was the last time the dual mass and clutch kit were replaced?

I've only done 15,000km. Have not replaced any wear and tear parts, save for the belt tensioner at 10,000km.

ye i had this with my mini 1st and 2nd ... i thought it was a wheel bearing or sumthink to do with the wheel on the right side ..

turns out the sound was from under the car and in sum places it can be made to echo so it sounds like its from either side ..

spoke to bmw bout it the took a look see and i had a hole in my flywheel ...

just double check where u think u can hear it from

hope you get it sorted
