Clicking Noise

[Pinkney]

Coming from the left rear of the car, clicks seem to be in direct relationship to the turning of the wheels (i.e faster I go the quicker the clicks are).

Any idea what it could be (have had new wheels fitted by the dealer if this helps)

Cheers

Stone or similar trapped in tyre tread?

Brake pads rubbing on a slightly raised portion of the disk? I have heard of this problem from others and have experienced it myself (most noticable when driving alongside a wall/fence with the window down). Solution is to wind window up & drive faster .

Quite common for the pads to rattle inside the calliper. Easy to check - if you just touch the brakes does the noise disappear? If so, you need to bond the pads to the pistons - simple for your local dealer to do.

Cheers Guys,

Danny, you were absolutely spot on, took car to a local garage and they spotted and fixed it straightaway. Saw and highlighted other minor problems at the same time. Were obviously enthusiasts.
