MY00 Turbo 2000 - Worried and need advice... :(
Hi,
When slowing down I seem to be noticing a rubbing noise (as if your brake pads were out) but I am not actually on the brakes. It is only noticeable at slow speeds but is also noticeable when turning left or right at slow speeds whilst not braking. Could there be a problem with the diff of gearbox?
My pads on the front are low and are getting replaced next week during the 60,000 mile service but I can't see how it could be them as I can hear it without even touching the brakes...
Help!...

I did just think that whilst walking the dog! Is it a difficult/expensive job? Or just the usual?
Gonna get my mechanic to have a look next week during the service..

Getting the car back today from the garage.
Turns out that a piston in each front caliper was seized which in turn was causing the rubbing. Had the calipers fully re-furbed so all is good. Worry over
Thanks for all the advice guys!
