:yeahthat:
jack up your front wheels and spin them. check a stone hasn't got in between the disk and the dust plate at the back or that dust plate isn't bent. if you have a sticky caliper give it a few tickles with the good man hammer. aftyer that it depends how spanner scared you are!!
back ones the same unles u have an lsd

Cheers guys i was thinking along the same line,but when i bought the car the guy said that the brakes have just been done as the warning light was on all the time but he said that the sensors where just not fitted.
Will have to get it sorted as its doing my head in lol.

yeah dunno about the sensors but a good chance the sound started from when the brakes/pas were changed, i.e. faulty fitment or something like that

I have also noticed that i cant get into the glove box the key just turns but does not release.
I have found to screws at the top just managed to fit a small driver in took both screws out but still wont open is there something else that i have to do to get it to open as i am getting a lock repair kit.
