I know i don't own a clio anymore but this site is still one of the best for mech related Q&A.
I have a ford escort now :oops: which has new pads (put on jan 07) and brake discs which appear to be in good condition.
Recently when braking down to a halt just before i'm about to stop the brakes emit a grinding noise (coming from both sides), normally this is related to pads being worn but seen as the pads have loads of meat left on them this is not the case.
The only thing that has happened in recent times was a stone got caught in the N/S braking system and obviously made a right racket until i reversed the car and it popped out.
Any ideas on what could be causing this most distressing of noises?
