The UK weather has my car upset

Driving around the last few days after our 2 month heat wave and sudden downpours.. and I now have a rubber rubbing sound going over bumps at the front on the driver's side. Driving me nuts!!

Is this separation anxiety?

Hoping someone can guide me or give me a bit of advice

My 6 year old daughter in year 1 has a best friend... now, said best friend is going through a lot of Mental health (issues/problems... apologies if this is the wrong way to say it) and said 6 year old has been diagnosed with PTSD and has been diagnosed a sociopath with obsessive tendencies.

My daughter was her obsession it seems... now, daughters best friend hasn't been seen in school the last 3 weeks give or take... so I have encouraged my daughter to make sure she plays with everyone and makes sure that she includes other kids who want to play with her.

Since her best friend hasn't been in, my daughter has been going through what i can only explain as separation anxiety. She will not leave my side. Crying going to bed because she says she will miss me... not wanting to go into school because she wants to stay with me.. follows me into every room, has to have my full attention, even when I am working or on the phone. My eyes and attention must be on her.

A few weeks ago, she was crying over EVERYTHING... it isnt THAT bad anymore however, the separation, the wanting attention permanently... its getting exhausting..

Could this have stemmed from her best friend not being around? Would you say its separation anxiety?

Any guidance and understanding would be fantastic

Hi all

Got my 2018 Mazda cx3 on Thursday afternoon. Been driving it with no issues since. Today... I have found that when I have been driving in driving (between 5mph and 25mph) there is an intermittent squeal. Not loud but it's there.

The car has not been driven in months, no issues with handling, breaking, suspension etc.

Just wondered if I could have your thoughts as to whether this may be a major issue or something that should die down eventually now it's being driven.

I've heard if could be rust, dust etc.

Its a 2018, Mazda cx3. 28k on the clock 2l petrol

Any guidance or help would be great otherwise it will drive me insane. I'm gonna keep an eye on it for a few days, and I'm doing some mileage in it tomorrow so may be able to get a gauge on whether it is a just today thing or whether it's going to be a regular occurrence.

Also have a service booked in for next month at a Mazda dealer. MOT beginning of the year had no advisories etc

Thanks all
