Hayley85 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Ive got my car in for an MOT next week and over the past month or so when I brake there's a whistling sound and I was wondering if anyone knew what this might be and if it means my MOT is going to end up being very expensive!!

steelhead4 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I did wonder what this thread was about lol. The noise will be the pads on the disc , if they have worn down then it could be the metal backing or just the warning tab on the pad thats starting to touch the disc , either way it needs checking asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aries22 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Don't know about whistling breaks, but l understand that if you cant have what you want, then you can whistle for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 More than likely, the pads need changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelhead4 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Depends on the car Hayley , not changing them will result in damaged discs which can be very expensive , as in several hundred pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
