loud droning noise coming from rear wheels.

Thanks for the replies. Still learning about these cars and their common faults.
I still havnt sussed out this noise from the motor either. If I ever get a weekend off I can hopefully have a descent look at it. The little sports car isnt dead yet. People give them a bad rap but mine has served very well considering it gets used as a work horse.
Not sure about this tapping noise that is there except for when your foot on the accelerator though.
