I do hope someone knows what I am going to blab on about !!!

I have a MK2 RX300 (2003) and the brakes seem to grind and make a noise when braking as the car is just coming to a halt, Lexus has had the brakes out skimmed them flat and cleaned them (twice now), but the noise persists - any suggestions on this one ?

Also, when I am driving I can hear a whining noise, I thought it may be wheel bearings or the gearbox (or something), but again Lexus has looked at it and all they did was change the transmission oil, but I still have the noise. They have suggest taking the car apart as far as taking all the brake parts apart and anything else which is around those areas and giving it a good clean and lubrication, but the labour alone has been estaimated at approx 8 hours !!!!

Has anyone got any advise or had the same problems which I am having...PLEASE !!

Thanks

How loud is this noise and are you sure grinding is the sound.

Mine made what is almost a hissing metal on metal sound not a grinding. I think some modern hard wearing pads are just generally noisier than others and its something you have to accept. I had mine skimmed and it made no difference, having an RX400h there is a certain amount of motor noise as well when I am braking and slowing down.

Thanks for the replies on this, I just had a call from my local Lexus dealer who is going to take the car for a few days and try and get to the bottom of my problems. They have also offered me a laon car.

I have to admit that the Services Dept at Lexus Bracknell have been excellent each time I have dealt with them over the years.

Cheers
