I'm getting a scraping noise from the front passenger wheel when turning.I'll be having a look tomorrow and was wondering if there was anything common i should be looking for.

Tyre rubbing on the wheel arch liner is one possible cause, might have a broken clip or two letting it sag a little. ?

Dude if your tyres are to wide or you have negative wheel offset it may be rubbing on the front of the plastic wheel arch liner :idea: 8O

it will be the metal anti-squeal shield.
they are usually so rusty you can just bend it back with your fingers to stop the rubbing noise
raise the wheel rotate it and check for noise :eek:
then take wheel of and rotate the disc. you'll see and hear it :eek:
HTH :)
