Hi all.
Firstly, i don't drive my car all that much at the moment, probably once during the week, then a couple of times at weekends.
When i start up the car and drive off, and consequently keep driving, i can hear a kind of metallic grating (although a very light grating) sound coming from my wheel area. Not really sure how to describe the sound as such, but i'm wondering if it's jsut the fact i don't drive the car that much, and it's getting rid of dust / surface rust off the discs, as the noise does tend to disappear after a while of driving...
I've not noticed any particular lack of braking performance, although i've never really thought that my brakes were that good to begin with (they're totally standard and are the first thing i'm going to upgrade in some way)..
Is my prognosis correct ? Is there anything i should look for to be sure ?
Thanks,
Azza
