    Hi guys.
    Wondering if someone has any idea what could be going on with my car.
    I have it booked into garage tomorrow but would like to gauge what I'm in for.
    A couple days ago I heard a grinding/crunching noise when I was slowly breaking. I was only going about 25mph and was braking slowly. There was a grinding/crunching noise from the rear passenger side wheel. I got but everything looked fine. The noise went away after but heard it again yesterday.
    The brakes have been screeching a bit so I'm wondering if the brake pad is worn.

    Thanks in advance

    Possibly worn pads but could also be a small rock caught.

    Is the centre of the wheel hotter than the rest? Could be the wheel cylinder, I had the same problems a year or 2 ago and it was partially seized. Guy in the motor factors said they sell a lot of them but was only €20 for the pair.
