Whiney whistle noise from car at lower speeds?

It's unlikely you'll get it back if you left it on the bus- best thing is check with the lost property at their depot.

Now back to the topic, I still have no idea what it is. Every now and when it makes a whistle/creaking sound and when I brake it sometimes make a grinding noise that appears to come from the rear passenger side. I'm almost certain its the brakes. any ideas?

Beyond repair. Buy an E9212H3CZ3 M3 instead.

HTDH.

You waste my time, I waste yours.

And have you actually bothered to remove the wheel and have a look? Or take it to somewhere to have a look?

No, thought not.

Hey-ho. At least you can drive the Astra in the meantime.

Or the Toyota Yaris FBO SE. Or the BMW E92 M3. Or the Lexus IS250SE-L. Or the Homer. Or the 1998 Toyota Corolla.

Or indeed, any of the other fictional vehicles which inhabit your fantasy garage.

BeenThroughItAll, we all know that you've once owned the E36 BMW M3. Have you ever considered the E92 M3 or ever driven one?

I will take it to the garage this bank holiday weekend when I have time. Visually, is there a way to check if the discs are warped?

Handbrake sticking on?brakes binding?
take it off and very gently roll the car forward, then feel how it stops, or on a slight downward slope feel how readily it rolls.

Pads down to metal?

anyone's guess at the moment

not easily without taking wheels off. With a flat edge or something, sine you won't have a dti.

otherwise look for any scratches. Look for any blue spots on the disc - this could indicate warping or binding.

No, I haven't. I'm a grown up now, with other priorities than fast cars.

Anyway, back to the original question. Are you admitting to being yet another time wasting, lying, childish, trolling AE of Darkmatter101?

No, I'm seeking genuine advice
