It must have pi$$ed it down in the last month rubschin:
I'd left the car covered while away, took it out on Sunday only to hear a dreadful rumbling coming from the offside front wheel. I thought it was going to fall off or summat eeek:
RAC man came out (that's what you pay for, innit) and took the wheel off to find rust build up on the disc eeek:
After a careful bit of jacked up slow revving he declared it fit for purpose confused:
Never had that happen before; anyone else?
-
Oh yes, quite common...
-
Something to do with the old law of pissing on the wheel as long as you have one hand on the car (can't remember which hand though, or which wheel)

Mine too. Drive and brake very hard on a decent run. All solved

Not quite what the RAC man recommended, but there you go ;)

My Landrover gets that problem as does my brother's car. Wife's Corsa doesn't.
Somebody recently said something about "Alloy Wheels" shrugs:

What about them?
To blame? Shrugs:
Load of bollox. ::)
Quite normal for the scraping rumbling grinding noise after it's bot been used for a day or two, especially if it's rained or the car's been washed.
Monster motoring top tip from Growler. happy088
Every few days, slow down from highish speed using your handbrake simultaneously (NOT FULL ON) with the foot brake. Stops a build up of rust on the rear discs that don't actually get that much use unless the car is heavily laden.

I think that is refering to them sticking whilst trying to remove them.
Quite common
Copper grease smeared on the hub generally prevents this.
If they haven't been greased though, loosen the wheel a couple of turns whilst OFF the jack, then drive it forwards and backwards a few feet, get out and rock the car side to side.
If all that fails...and it can sometimes, do as JC always does. Resort to a hammer! eveilgrin:
