brake calipers

[Simon Templar]

and if your under warranty get it done
or you will have to sort it your self like me
and i still have not done it yet
but i will be replacing the pads and discs in a few months
and i will be looking into this as i am sure it gets worse
as the pads get past half way worn
i never noticed this when the car was in warranty
i do very little mileage a year so now the car is on 26k
after just over 3 years i am noticing the car is getting
the knocking from the front right side now
and the pads are just about 3/4 worn

So far I have had the caliper carriers replaced and it never made a blind bit of difference which prompted Vx to say that I needed the shimmed pads(on back order , allegedly). .

However , the movement in the caliper that was there before has gone. A local motor engineer has been all over it looking for the fault , unsuccessfully. I mentioned the shimmed pads to them and their response was "Surely the pads are held in place by the clips and therefore don't need shimming ?"

Even under braking , I can still get the "clatter" at low speed , which is a worry. .

I suppose fitting the shims is when the conundrum may get its answer. .
