  2. Noise when wheel rotates, metal on metal sound. (metal on metal crime) (noise) (rotates) (brakes)

    Did you use copper grease on the back of the pads?

    Cannot remember. It's been, like, 8,000 miles since the brakes were changed though (discs, pads and calipers) and the noises have only come recently.

    First of all you need to find out IF its the pads. Remove the pads and remount the wheels, don't apply the brake!! See IF the noise goes.

    Sounds logical. Will try it.

    They are not known for their quality especially with their pads, just ask a few members on here.

    In the vid there seems to be quite a bit of rust on the discs, If you looked at the back of the disc it will be in a worse condition than the front. I would have said you may need new discs.

    And the noise you get after it's been raining, probably rust build up, it doesn't take much for a light brown colour to appear on the discs after a short rainfall

    I am aware. I got the pads before everyone's started falling to pieces and everyone loved ebc lol.

    I meant I get the noise even when it's not been raining. Like every time I stop.

    I hope its not new discs, otherwise the quality of mtec must be gash.

    So for a few months I've noticed a tinging sound whenever I've got the windows down, like I'm dragging along tin cans or something. It was annoying more than anything, but today I decided to jack the car up and spin the wheels to see which wheel was causing it.

    Well, all 4 wheels sound like the brake pad is touching the disc. The calipers aren't stuck as all wheels move freely, but they all make the noise.

    I've included a video. The first wheel I spin is what the other two wheels sounds like, the 2nd wheel I spin sounds terrible.

    Anyone got an idea of what the cause is?

    When you're staged (on the line) pull the handbrake up and keep the button pushed in. Sit on the biting point of the clutch and rev at about 4000rpm, when the lights go green release handbrake, release the clutch and keep the throttle half open to reduce wheelspin. Then when the tyres bite just go full throttle. Sounds easy but the start is very gard to master, especially if you don't have good tyres.
