Noticed a rattling noise which sounded like bag of spanners and got worse the faster I went.
Turns out that the thin sheet metal mud shields which sit behind the front brake discs have coroded and come loose.
They are held on by 3 bolts. The holes for the bolts have rusted round the edges so they have come adrift and clatter about.
You have to remove the caliper and brake disc to get at the securing bolts, so not a 5 minute job.
Anyone else experienced this phenomenon yet?
