While braking in reverse gear the front brakes make a strange noise. It sounds like 2 pieces of metal hitting each other. This only happens for the first time I press the brakes. (noise sounds like a loud "click")
Is this normal? or should I investigate it further.

Mine don't exactly make a click, more of a loud squeal when braking in reverse!
Is that normal for a MY00 with 3200 miles?
Cheers

Hi Nick,
it's just a loud squeal really but as it only occurs occaisionally I'm not too concerned. I'll mention it when it goes in for the next service.
Saw you blatting along the Bristol road yesterday
, did wave, but as I'm now in a diesel Focus for work chances are I'm nigh on invisible! 
cheers

The clunk is as explained above. The squeak is caused by slightly glazed discs (to much light braking) which is exagerated because asbestos is no longer used in their manufacture. I get both.
