What do I need to stop the pads rattling?

There are springs and buffers to stop the pad noise. The springs get tired after a while bu the buffers stop the noise really well. Cleanthe caliper with brake cleaner / Thinners or the like and give it a wee rub with fine sand paper befor you fit them though.

K - Serious - firstly welcome along

You'll find if your discs are rattling then you have a serious problem - like your wheels are about to fall off! The discs are clamped between the hub and wheel by wheelnut pressure.

If you actually meant rattling pads (which I'm sure you did) then it's a case of, as stephen says, making sure the springs are fitted right, are strong enough and then whack on the lotus buffers. Don't be tempted by Geary's ones, as by experience of a few folk on here, they are crap
