Hmmm... could be the new pads an discs I had fitted a few weeks back?? Would that be normal?
Obviously they still settling in, an not like I doing any hard driving in the greasy-ness conditions we gettin right now.

Sounds like something disk-y, yeah - did you put grooved disks on there?

Naw just got normal one's from Stu. Def just the dics/pads tho, swishing pretty much gone already.
It was just me being paranoid cause I knew that bearing was needing replaced - I don't think hammering off the old discs helped it much either!

Take the wheel off, turn the brake discs slowly by hand, listen behind the discs, as theres a mud guard type thing that can touch.

If it aint that, i'd need to have a look. sure someone would give you a hand with it. I will if your stuck.
