Hi all,
GU TD4.2...
I'm getting a rattling/scraping noise intermittently coming from, I think, one or both of the rear wheels.
It seems to be set off by hitting a bump in the road, but not all bumps will set it off.
The noise will go away by itself - the time / distance it lasts is inconsistent.
The noise never seems to be present from a standing start.
My guess is that this is a brake pad wear warning - has anybody experienced something like this and able to confirm or deny?
Many Thanks
PGK

could be stones caught in behind the brakes too, our cruisers get them occasionally at work.
cheers

something loose in the exhaust? a baffle perhaps?

Hi
Check the brake backing plates
mine cracked and sounded like the the rear end was about to part company
sounded like metal rubbing together and used to come and go drove me mad trying to find it
