Hi hope someone can help me.......I have a 2006 td4, and over the past couple of months i have been getting a scraping noise from my rear wheels when braking. New shoes were fitted previously by a trusted mechanic,after the handbrake seized on. The noise started quietly/intermitantly, it sounds just like shoes rubbing on the drum. i asked the mechanic to look over the car, and he found nothing wrong, and the car last week passed its MOT. I tried a process of elimination, by changing the drums right to left, and the noise changed with it. I was sure the problem was with the drum, as the offending drum had been previously ground on the edge to eliminate rust. I have since changed the drum for a quality new one, but the noise persists. The noise does not occur when yanking up the handbrake only on braking moderately hard. is there anything else that can be put under pressure when braking, that will cause this scraping noise? the mechanic said that as i don't do a great deal of miles, the shoes were not bed in properly...could this be the case.
thanx in anticipation of loads of good advice
