Loud whinning noise, no power and james bond style black smoke screen 
Lucky i was only 10 miles from home so limped it, will have to get it recovered to skoda in the morning.
I assume its still under warrenty as its not 3 years old yet but ive clocked up 117k

You won't be covered under standard warranty, although they may still do it, as my dad had all the suspension bushes changed on his Furby VRs even after 85k under warranty.
Which dealer you going to?

confirmed as bearing failure, extended warrenty will cover it.
Got an 09 plate corsa sxi till they sort it. Handling is terrible, loads of body roll feels like a boat! although it looks quite smart and is nice inside.
