Loss of power / squeaking noise

Sorry. Looked through some threads but can't seem to find anything matching my issue.

Plus I have two!!!

Firstly.....

Driving around M25 at 70mph yesterday evening, suddenly got a loss of power. Couldn't get above 55mph.

Drove ok this morning, and seemed ok on m.way. However there seems to be a slight clack clack noise when pulling away in first or revving in neutral, that I don't recall hearing before.

Any ideas.

Also.....

I have squeaking noise from the front left wheel, when the camber of the road is not level. When I touch the brakes, noise goes.

Again... Any ideas?

I just need to assess if I can do this stuff or just send it into my local expert???

Cheers.

Regarding loss of power, get some compression readings as a priority otherwise you can end up chasing your own tail. If they check out ok (or at least reasonable) you can then diagnose AA style until you pinpoint the problem.

As for squeak, jack it up and check both wheels for roughness or play.
