hmmm, my fella reckons its got something to do with the break pads, but i dont know really. as ive only had the car 2 months i dont know when the break pads were last exchanged, so you could be right. i think i better check it in to the clinic for a check-up!

i checked to see if i had a herd of reindeers following me!!!! |

its just happined to me it sounds like keys. it is a littil metal thing on the back off the pad you can stop it by levering them away from the pad with your finger probably best on a ramp. (4 pots) ok las. :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello:

You can lever it away but it will come back. It's most likely the worn pad indicator that's built-in. Eventually you'll get a terrible screeching every time you press the brake pedal.

Stuff your bl**dy nails woman! When it comes to the brakes on a car (especially a fast one!), I would like to think that most people realise how important they are. :cuckoo: Do you tell everyone who gets in your car, ' The brakes sound a bit dodgy, but i'm sure they'll be alright!'???? :norty:
Come on scoobybabe, don't live up to the 'I'm a woman and don't know jack' reputation! :p |
