so my EK is making a funny noise under fairly hard (but not ridiculously hard) braking. i can't find anything loose that may be making the noise due to inertia, so i guess it MIGHT be the brakes themselves-ill attempt to explain the noise...
just picture this lovely scene
cruising along, a red light comes on and you need to brake slightly harder than usual to make sure u stop before the magic line.
brakes on, and a strange sound comes from the front of the car.
sounds something like a large spring under alot of tension (similar to a trampoline spring making that groaning noise) and that spring is maybe rattling on something as well....
best of luck to you all, coz i sure as hell cant figure it out.
chances are its time to reco the drums anyway

Can you make out where the noise is coming from? Under the car, the front, the back, inside, under the dash? any other clues? Trev .

I'd look at your coil insulators!

well from what i can tell its just from the front end of the car, dont really have any other clues. thanks for that theo ill check them out mate

Also have a look at the top shockie rubbers?

got it, one of the fan blades was bent just enough to hit the radiator, and not enough for me to notice it without a closer look. problem solved. feel a bit silly for not figuring it out sooner

that would of been hard to check....hope you had something to hold onto under the bonnet when the brakes were slammed on...
