Hi all, just a question about a weird noise that has just appeared. Seems to be coming from the front, when i drive in reverse there is no noise but when i drive forward this noise is there. It sounds like metal rubbing. Ive driven down the road and taken it out of gear and it still there when i coast. I filmed or tried to film to get the sound on vid to post on here for help. The vid is only 15.6mb yet i cant upload it. Its bugging me. Cheers peeps

    Sorry, I don't know what the problem could be, other than perhaps a siezed brake caliper causing the pads to scuff.

    Somebody more knowledgable will come across this thread soon hopefully and can help you

    Rust on the top of the brake disk is a possibility best bet is pop the wheel off and spin it you'll soon hear if its the disk could be a sticky caliper or a warped disk also
