I have a strange noise coming from the front end, can't really tell if it's the engine or suspension related.

It sounds like a warbling noise that gets louder over speeds of around 40mph. Car is also kangerooing below speeds of 30mph.

I thought it maybe the Lambda sensor but wouldn't my recent MOT test of picked up on this?

Sounds like a wheel bearing is shot possibly.

As for the kangarooing, that's obviously engine related.

mot's dont really count for much as its not like a road test and things get missed.

How much are we talking for new wheel bearings? Is there anyway of knowing if a new lambda will solve the engine problem?
