Wheel Noise Following New Brake Pads & Discs
#6
Thanks for the message all. 

I dont think the mechanic is competent with any make tbh.

I took it to my Dad's friend who is a very experience Vauxhall mechanic. He found the fault in minutes. A small hole in the rocker cover is allowing air in, hence the "lean fuel" fault code.

Sadly, as the vehicle is under warranty and I cannot afford to pay someone else to fix it (as much as I would like to) I have had to hand the car back over the "family" dealership to be sorted. They are apparently sending it off site for diagnostic, obviously arent convinced with the explanation I gave them despite me showing them the exact point of the air inlet.

The noise from the wheel is apparently because there is some metal on the back of the brake pad which is rubbing on the disk? Again, the noise isn't the brakes "wearing in" as I have been told.

I am awaiting an update from them currently as I have had to leave the car in their hands. 

Finger crossed......
