Hi All, Hope eveyone enjoying decent weather for a change! I think & hope my car is enjoying it too much, getting too hot!
When doing usual around small town errands, driving involves no more than 3 miles at a guess, on occasions get a very loud squeak/squeal, and sometimes sounds like the brake system is hanging off the car axle! It always seems to be coming from the rear brake on drivers side. it sounds bloody awful with window down in this weather, when it happens.
Past 2 occasions we thought (as we saw) somebody had run over a can wilst they were mowing the lawn and even saw someone checking their lawnmower...unless it was the car making them think summat wrong with lawnmower!
It happened for about 50 metres today whilst going shopping. Only been driving less than 5 minutes and really shook us up, realising that it was the car making this noise. Few seconds later when parked up at supermarket, I checked brakes, nothing stuck in wheel on catching on brakes themselves, but the one I think which is culprit was bloody hot (know they get hot from being used-but dont really use handbrake unless parking. If we stop for a couple of seconds, it seems to remedy itself.
So is it just the brakes & disc getting so hot in weather and expanding slightly more than usual, or is there something more serious? Hoping other members are experiencing same sound/problem, hence just due to weather. As always, ever grateful for any replies and comments. Many thanks & take care out there.
