Brake noise from the rear and 'pulsing' on light braking


Recommended Posts

  • Gold FFM

I've had the car in to check on the rubbing noise from the rear and a none-too-smooth braking action on very light braking application. Outcome: Needs brakes, all the brakes...

I've had the front discs and pads replaced today which resolves the smoothness of the braking (they had big deposits on the inner face causing this). The rears we are going to do at the next service. Also the handbrake drums were full of dust and rust etc. so have been swept out but will also need replacing with the rears, this is what is causing the 'rubbing sounds' as I'm driving along - FYI in case anyone comes across the same noise (sounds like a metal gently glancing against metal).

Fortunately, I live just down the road from Steve Williams Sports Cars and by connection, the Elise Shop so it's going to be well looked after, and Steve is a thoroughly nice chap as well, well recommended if you are in the area.

Any chance of telling me what you got quoted for the brake disc and pad replacement ? You can PM if you want to keep it Private ? 
I need to get my brakes all changed just wondering if you got quotes with lotus reduction costs announced earlier this year? Thanks

It's not an official Lotus garage. I'm never 100% on publicly posting on rates etc. without the garage permission (though it's probably fine) but I will PM you the price.
