I`ve got a regular tapping noise that sounds to be coming from the front
offside wheel area.  It sounds almost as if there is a flap of rubber
sticking out from the tyre that is hitting the car at the same point of each
revolution of the wheel.  It is now dark, so I`ve only ...

I have a breather hose going into my airbox and wondered what it does ?
