 There is a rubbing noise coming from the rear right wheel. It is louder at
 speed, and only is there when I am accelerating. When I coast or brake, it
 is silent. I have also noticed a creaking noise when I start to reverse -
 again from that area.
 
 I wondered if a rubber bush was on the way?? Or maybe a wheelbearing - or a
 driveshaft / diff problem??
 
 Any suggestions would be appreciated. >>

Rob,

Try adjusting your emergency brake cable (can do from inside the car by the 
hand brake - lift up the boot)...my son's car did the same thing...too much 
slack will allow it to rub and "click-cick" at the rear drum....that's all it 
was.

Good luck,
