I have a 1990 110 CSW and I'm new to Landys, I'm looking for any advice with the following problem. NS Front wheel is making a grinding noise. Grinding noise seems to be worse when travelling slowly, as speed increases noise drops off. Only thing that springs to mind is brakes possibly binding thats my guess because thats the limit of mechanical knowledge.

Any Ideas anyone?

Sometimes a small stone or grit drops into the caliper and runs against the disc.lock the steering over and look down beside the disc.Are the pads aok? The metal guard can run on the disc too.I live down along gravel track and remove pebbles often .At worst it could be a wheel bearing

I had similar last week, thought the bearings had gone, but it was the mudguard on inside of hub, which had rusted through and was rubbing against disc on my 110 CSW.
If it's bearings, try www.lrseries.com very good prices.

Could just be the sound of a 1990 Deafener!!!!

Hope this helps.

Cheers for the suggestions everyone that took time to answer my cry for help. Have been out for a drive today and sods law, did'nt hear a thing, no grinding or anything. Did checkout the the things that were suggested by everyone. Will be in it all weekend so fingers crossed eh.
Thanks all.
