wheel squeel advice/opinions

Featured Replies

Hello all, for the past month or so my 54 vrs has developed an intermittent 'issue'. When

slowing to parking speeds ie pulling into drive way a wheel or wheels make a sound like

an old bicyle wheel turning, but only temporarily and not always, also sometimes when slowing to negotiate roundabouts or approaching junctions. A relative thinks it may be a sticky calliper. My mot is due next month and am concerned it could be a chargeable re-test job if its breaks related. Obviously I need to take it to dealership but would be happy to hear your views as its on my mind now for christmas, thanks in advance for any views and merry christmas to you all. :wmann3:

I had this, mentioned it at the service, but it had disappeared.

probably just a brake pad rubbing on the disc edge , does it go when braking ?

Thanks for response, yes, sometimes when I pull into driveway I turn in right towards garage and its doing it, I then jab enthusiasticaly at the breaks, roll backwards (incline into garage) then when I move forward to enter garage no noise at all. One consideration I didn't mention is I'm in rural cornwall and the lanes here are absolutely filthy, if that plays any part? Thanks in advance for any more views. :)

I reckon that's what mine was.
