Think i broke something on the 2.2 :( - Some moron who decided to use the left hand lane on a round-about to go all the way around to get to the M40 services >:(
Slammed on the brakes, 40-0 stop almost instantly, fair play to the guy behind me he was close, but avoided hitting me.
After i filled up with some motion lotion, turning right pulling out, heard this awful grinding noise :o
Seems to be on right hand turns (far as i can tell) and its metal/grinding on metal, it increases with speed. Tested it going round a mini-roundabout a few times, its quite loud, without the windows down its very noticeable :(
Does not seem to do it on left hand turns, but not found any left hand round-abouts to test it on ::)
I am thinking wheel bearing? - I did have a fair bit of left lock on when i stomped on the brakes.
Thinking about it, i should have not braked so well, and taken him out ;D
-
Got Any meat left on yer brake pads?
-
fresh ones put on just a few weeks ago....
-
Stereo loud enough?
-
did have the Kaisers on earlier, this sound would be heard, felt with it on :(
Its fine in a straight line, which is lucky as thats most of my commute. ;D
-
Might you have broken a spring with that heavy bout of braking? :-/
-
My guess,you have wear on the discs and an outer and inner lip is present.The sudden and hard braking has altered where the pads normally sit and on the right hand turns the pads are coursing the lip or lips.
-
could be Debs, its too dark to check now :(
If i shifted the pads, thought that would have done it on left turns too? :-/
-
Not neccessarily,do you have wear on the discs?

Discs are 2 years old, just put fresh pads on couple of weeks ago, slight lip on the pads, nothing big.
-
checked rear pads? maybe pads come unbonded?
Jack it up, should be easy to locate.
Oh, and dont use it!!
-
sound is defo from the front, front left i think.....
Stealing borrowing the 3.0 tomorrow, oh and i have nicked your Vax :y

She said. I must have nodded off - I didn't hear you :o

Check the front pads then. Then check the back.
-
will strip down and inspect on Monday :)

Chances are that guncharmer is spot on but...... if something has broken you want to find it now not while cruising on the motorway.
Jack the front end up, wheels off & check that all the caliper bolts are tight and that the pad material hasn't disintegrated.
Also check that your engine mounts are intact. Some cars suffer from the front pulley hitting the anti-roll bar after the engine mounts get old and soft (not sure if this applies to the omega though :-/)

Cheers, borrowing Omega number 3 to get to work tomorrow, it has to be disc related as the sound increased with speed not really engine revs, straight line foot down it was ok.
Braking feels ok, but something is not right :-/

Could be a wishbone bush :-/ :-/ When mine were breaked you noticed it mostly under braking ;) ;)

Braking is fine, 80-20 was fine after the incident , hoping its just the pad has moved or something
