Scraping noise

[jampot]

I have just brought a lovely S type Jag , 2002 in fantastic condition, but I have a scraping noise from the rear , it sound just like a worn out brake pad on the disc, but I have just put new pads and disc's on the rear, and new wheel bearings on the back wheels.

David,

 

It wouldn't be as simple as the brake pads bedding in would it?

 

This might be of interest.

I had the noise before I changed the pads and disc's Trevor, but  as you say it might be the new pads and discs bedding in making the same noise, think, i think i will hang on a couple of hundred miles and see if the noise stops, you can only just hear it in the car but its annoying  i don't know what it is.

Were there any wear shims attached to the pads?

[jampot]

No there were no wear shims,  I had it up on the ramp again today and I am getting a rumble from the diff , so I think I will replace that, I got the car for a very good price so I don't mind spending a pound or two on it..

Good luck, those screeching noises can be so annoying and frustrating

ha ha I was away on business last night and the hotel I stayed at had a big sign "DOG FRIENDLY" I though 'could have brought the wife'.

David, on giving the matter some consideration a scraping noise associated to the differential? Whining maybe! I don't know, doesn't help you but I would hate to see you go through all that hard work and expense for no result

[jampot]

There is a whine and a rumble coming from the diff Kenny so I will take a closer look at that, il'l give the scraping a miss until I get the diff sorted, we have a rebuilt diff in the workshop so its not going to cost me anything.

In that case its got to be worth a try then buddy, good luck

Update on my scraping noise lads, it was the diff, so I have changed all 4 wheel bearing's ( no press, just hammer and brute force) and now changed the diff, and at 80mph the girl is silent, what a joy to dive, well worth the sweat and tears.

[knightsmith]

Charlie,

 

I make it a rule never to enter a shop with a woman, why have you got to go, and has she not heard of the internet ?

 

And what is all this " Sonic Monday " nonsense ? trust you Scots to fall for it.

 

Just googled it, it is another Americanism
