Nigel thanks for the video link and i can hear the noise you mentioned. Mine is not like that and only makes the noise at around 4k revs. I have the car ready to go for its 1k miles check so i will ask them to have a look at this as you suggest. Thank you for your help

Nigel - thanks for the response. I have looked under the scuttle and cannot see any Velcro or foam pad. As its a new car i was told to use the wipers to see if this fixes the noise as you can appreciate the car has not seen rain so i have had no reason to use the wipers. I suspect its the cable inside that is causing the problem. I am also looking to see if the vibrations can be reduced as well which may help..

Hi Around 4k revs the wiper tube under the scuttle makes a noise which appears to be caused by vibrations. I can stop it by sticking my hand up under the scuttle and holding the wipers centre bar so i know this is where its coming from. Q. Has anyone else had this and if so what can be done to stop it? i presume there is a bar inside which is rattling against the outside of the tube. I have tightened the mechanism and everything around i can see but nothing has stopped it. Thanks Cliff

Hi Looking for a couple of rear light cluster rubber plinths please? Anyone upgraded to a carbon set and have some left over.? Many thanks Cliff

Steve/Ian Thanks for the comments. Pad thickness is the same on both sides with the inner pad slightly thinner. i removed the sliding top section of the caliper and removed the pads. This all looked OK so i replaced it but nothing changed. As i said earlier the pressure applied to the rear brakes via the pedal is OK and the caliper works fine. I will push the piston back in and see this fixes the problem. As for adjusting the brake cable i have found the grey screw with locking nut under the car but is there another adjuster near the diff? Thanks Cliff

Steve yes, it will lock up but the handbrake is at the top notch and with a little force you can just about turn the wheel at this point but the passenger side is rock solid. The arm seems to moving its full amount but only at the end of its movement it will gently lock the wheel.

Thanks for the comments. I think my problem is the arm on top of the caliper moves the same as the passenger side but this side locks but the drivers side is still free wheeling, it's a if the moving of the caliper arm by pulling the handbrake has no effect on pushing the piston. Should I just adjust the handbrake cable up as much as I can?

Hi Had the MOT today but failed on the central handbrake. When pulled tight the passenger side wheel locks up but the drivers side wheel can be turned with a little force applied. Have checked the movement of both arms on the calipers and each moves the same but the near side will lock the wheel after 3 clicks of the handbrake when the drivers side stil spins. Any ideas of why this is happening? New caliper req? Brakes are fine on both sides when you apply the pedal so only the handbrake has the issue.

Order arrived Many thanks for ogainsing. Now where to put them canisters....

Jonathan Paid in full. Thank you Cliff
