Default Loud Rubbing noise - please help

Hi all, can anyone give some advice.

earlier on my car all of a sudden developed a rubbing noise like brakes etc and it’s definitely metal on metal.

It can't/shouldn't be brakes as I just had new disks and pads about 500 miles ago.

When it came to my attention I noticed that it came on at low speed only and off again about 30+mph. Turning sometimes stopped it and sometimes started it. it seems very random although quite loud.

If I don’t get it done I don’t think I will be able to meet on Sunday with Tidgy

Any help appreciated. Steve

check the brakes.. perhaps they were fitted wrong or the caliper has seized just because you had new ones fitted.. also did you have all four replaced or just the front for example?
