ok well noises can be cv joints (is it clicking when you turn)
droplinks are another common failure

for heater maybe you have blown fuse.....
does it still have thermostat?

Sorry for hijacking your thread Dj_Ules.

I'm having the same problems as well, when the road is bumpy or when I turn, sometimes it's making metal rattling sounds from the Front Left Wheel.


Do you guys reckon if I take it to Pedders, they'll be able to tell what's wrong with it?

they do a $14 safety check, is good value but dont let them do any work they are expensive and a bit dodgy
my motto; do nothing, then rest.
