Noisy rear wheel...
« on: 07 June 2010, 18:32:19 »

Today whilst driving heard a terrible rattling noise coming from the rear o/s wheel.Pulling into a car park I proceeded to remove wheel and found somthing was loose between disc and back plate. Pushing back the back plate I found which I thouight was a small gravel stone but it looks more like a cast iron little piece.All is fine now. Could I have picked it up somewhere?

I picked something up in the off side front coming out of a car park.
Thought the front wheel was coming off, turned out to be nothing  ;)

Bit of broken handbrake pin, due to rust and/or knackered back plates where they are supposed to live, maybe?
No real worries - you can run the car fine with no handbrake pins and the handbrake still works as well (or not, ususally!) as it was meant to.
