Hi Guys,

I'm having some problems with my RH Rear Caliper/Brakes, as I drive along I get a grinding from the wheel, as if there is metal on metal - on close inspection there's some metal filings coming from somewhere, but i havent had the caliper off because it's ****ing down with rain. I saw somewhere this is a regular problem maybe with caliper seizing, anyone got any ideas what it might be? The noise is worse on braking - i've done 22,000 miles, I'm normally good with my driving style..

Mine started 'grating' & the one wheel was very dirty - the caliper was sticking - new one under warranty - no questions asked
