the boyf and i took the darlin' scoob out for a run up to abersoch today to make the most of that thing in the sky they call a sun! as i was driving a long, i wound down the window and every now and again, i could hear a sort of jinkling noise. it does it randomly and lasts a few seconds. so, came home and parked her up(sulking cos he couldnt work it out!) decided to take it out again to see if it was still doing it, and yes! there it was like a sore head, jinkling away....anybody got any ideas???i'm fresh outta them!!!!ok, i could take it to a scoob dealer and ask them, but thought it would be more fun to ask you lot!!! i'm listening......

 

hiya scoobybabe

santa early? or late?

 

Something stuck in the brake caliper, have you driven over any gravel?

Or the CAT is breaking up!

Pete

 

Argian anwyl dad.....beth sy'n bod gyda'r hen Scooby ta......Can you be a bit more specific about the jinkling...initial impression was to worn brake pads they're designed to rattle when worn and make a jinkling noise Hwyl fawr..

 

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!

 

lol @ u custard...
i checked to see if i had a herd of reindeers following me!!!!

 

whats the welsh bit translate to???


or do i really want to know.....?

 

Roughly where isthis sound coming from... front.. rear.. wheels....??? or somewhere underneath...??

 

Please don't exchange the pads ...... just buy some NEW ones!!

Oh, yes and ask for BRAKE pads - not BREAK pads!

Pete

 

at a rough guess i would say the front somewhere! difficult to tell as i have to drive it to hear it! ( over my exhaust noise)

 

ok ok, i get the point! you know what i mean.....!

 

thanx, I'm still crazy

 

Pete

 

?

 

thats good to hear custard, are you a scoob owner yet hun???

 

Could be pads.... could also be any matter of other things..... is there anyone in the locality that could take a look for you??

 

i dont know....anyone want to take a look at my body work for me......??????

 

I wish..... I would help in a flash.. or for one!!

But seriously.... there must be someone local who know what they're looking at.... roughly where are you??

 

no, I'm still too young to drive (haven't sped up in the ageing department yet lol), and haven't got any money

 

i am in north wales. not up in the mountains with the sheep, i may add!!!!

 

awwwwww dont fret, your turn will come! i'm 27 and have only just got to own my own!!! but i never liked them up until a few months ago...weird isnt it..?

 

Try putting another thread up.. calling all north wales scooby owners who know the way around their car...

 

hmm kinda weird...

my neighbours daughters hubby has a scoob and she hates driving it terrible

I'll have a scoob before I'm 30!

 

what are you saying there??? i would have all sorts of stick if i posted that up!! bi may aswell put up 'calling all scooby drivers in north wales that are NOT thick!!!

 

try the brakes first they might be getting a bit low on the inside pad

 

c'mon guys, i DRIVE the car!!! i wouldnt know a worn disk from a new one!! sad but honestly TRUE!!!

 

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.

 

hmmmm, do you want to get your fingers dirty for me?? i gotta think of the nails u see!!

 

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. Do you tell everyone who gets in your car, ' The brakes sound a bit dodgy, but i'm sure they'll be alright!'????
Come on scoobybabe, don't live up to the 'I'm a woman and don't know jack' reputation!
