Hi
I have a 98 Petrol 1.8 Freelander. A few months ago started a noise which sounds almost like the front brake pads metal rubbing on the disks all the time. Even when I am doing just 1 mile per hr with the clutch down and the gearbox in neutral this noise is there. The brake pads are fine, I have had both wheel bearings changed and there is nothing rubbing against the alloys etc. It sounds like it comes from the left hand side within the engine compartment and the grinding noise travels through to the cockpit. If I coast along in reverse in neutral with the clutch down the noise is not there.
It is getting worse, I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions.
Thank you for any help.
