I've just noticed that this is my first login in 2.5 years! Where has the time gone?

So, I have just had the 150k service done on the car and prior to the service I started to hear a metallic rubbing sound from the left rear at low speeds. It sounds like someone is hacksawing the back off the car. At first I thought it was a wheel bearing going and when I took it into Trivetts they said it was just the tyres oxidising!!

I remembered that I still have Race Brakes pads on the rear which are metal compound and thought it could have been a brake problem (disc needing a skim or a binding brake), but then found that the noise continued under braking and didn't happen at all in reverse.

Strangely, I left it outside in the rain last night (after a few bottles of wine) and this morning driving home it didn't make any noise at all.

Anyone know what this could be?

Hi Swells, where have you been?

If the noise comes back swing by and I'll have a listen.
