    What you should do is jack that corner of the car up, and see if there's any play in the wheel.
    Sometimes there's no identifiable play. Aalso spin the wheel fast and put your ear next to it to listen for the whirring noise. A slight grinding noise is normal as the brake linings pass over the disc/drum.

    Would this be the same conclusion you'd come to on a Fiesta ST? Mine makes a similar noise when I hit 35 - stops at 40 - fair enough it stops me speeding (!) but it's driving me mad!
