I have a number of possible options: -…

What is causing this SQUEAK?!
My car (Suzuki Ignis) has a squeak which seems to be coming from the front nearside tyre. It only squeaks when the car is moving, is uneven (as if the brake disc is warped or it's catching at some point) i.e. (...SQUEAK....SQUEAK....SQUEAK....) and goes faster when I accelerate... and stops when I'm braking.

Hi, Is getting a second-hand 1.4 petrol really going to be cheaper to run than getting a diesel of the equivalent/any kind?
