Hi all, glad to have found this forum, hope somebody can help.
I have an 02 is200, 50000 miles, full service history. I love the car to bits but about three weeks ago I noticed a noise when I applied the brakes. It sounds as if there were a ridge on the disc. A thumping dull thud sort of noise that is obviously in time with the wheel speed, it slows down as the car does. It seems to be coming from the passenger side front. I have had the pads changed and new tyres, £140 each, ouch, as the tracking was slightly out. Made no difference. There is nothing felt through the pedal or steering wheel and apart from this noise the car is absolutely rock steady, no pulling or judders, nothing. The noise is only there when braking, as soon as I take my foot off the pedal it goes away. I have had it thoroughly checked out by a very competent mechanic twice and he is stumped, he can find nothing wrong, no play in any components at all. National, who did the tyres, also did their steering and suspension checks and found nothing wrong. but the noise is still there and it's driving me daft.
Can anybody suggest anything?
Thanks.
