Hello to scope online community 
I have nhs salsa m2 powder wheelchair which turns easily in tight spaces but I have have 6 wheels on the chair but all of sudden unsure which wheel is making a squeaking noise when I driving the chair but I had the repair company out last week to fix some other issues I had but he said I have to wait till worse before they can fix the problem. 

I just wanted to ask anyone on the scope online for some advice 
warm regards

    How are you feeling about having to wait till worse before they can fix the problem? This sounds really difficult and if you would like to tell us more about the advice you are looking for please feel free to.

    @globster if you've had that chair awhile  could you request a new one? If things keep going wrong with it, just a thought. Good luck with tomorrow

    Hello @Globster

    Thank you for keeping us updated. It's good to hear it was the floor and not a chair issue :)
