Caporegime
I've noticed a grinding noise from my brakes recently, assumed my front pads were low (although no warning light) and decided to goto Krap Fit as its 2 minutes walk from my house, I could leave it there & let them sort it.
Got a phone call about an hour or so later to say the discs & pads are fine, all round, no signs of scoring, no noise from the brakes on test.
So I got the car back, took it on a fairly hard drive and sure enough, the noise under braking is certainly there, sounds like worn pads but apparently isn't, the brakes feel fine, and don't perform as if they were worn to the pads!
So whilst the noise is still there, fair play at least to Krap Fit, Brunswick Street Newcastle-under-Lyme - they could have easily conned me out of a set of pads at least had they been inclined to do so, I went in and asked them to swap them over, assuming a diagnosis was pointless....
Any ideas as to whats making the noise though???
