Rear Brakes

I have done 1800 miles in my new MCSC and i have noticed that the rear brake calpiers are making a knocking sound when brake at very low speed. I have taken the rear parcel shelf out thinking it may be the plastic balls knocking on the rear of the car however the noise is still there. The brakes work fine i just wondering what it could be, it is under warrenty so not bothered about taking back to the stealer

Any suggestions

My MCS did this just the once, after being stood a while. It was more like a regular metallic click or clonk from the rear brakes. I took it for a spin with a bit of hard braking, as I figured it was lack of use. The noise went away after a few brake applications and it has never done it since.
If this doesn't work for you then I would take it to the dealers and let them sort it out.

I would guess it had about 1000 miles on the clock at the time.
