The Ford has made some intermitant squeeking metal on metal type of noises ever since we’ve had it. I took it into a garage for a check over shortly after buying it to find out what issues it might have. But they didn’t pick up anything untoward. Hannah noted that the squeeling had gotten worse the other day, so i checked the pads on the frontl, outside, where i could see. They were low, but not disastrous, so i felt that couldn’t be it. So i checked the back, same story, however the noise was still there. So i took the caliper right off to see if there was a stone in behind or something. But i found the inner pad was all gone.
So i treated it to some new pads.
The pads came with instructions which mention not breaking hard if you can avoid it for the first 200 miles. I took the car for a spin and the breaks are going to take a while to bed in.
