well was out driving today and my driver side wheel as started making a clunching sound as i brake but it gets louder the harder i brake. has anybody been in same situation or might no what the problem is av had a quick luk at disk brakes and brake pads they seem fine

hmm .... could be your ABS,

Are the discs clean yeh?

just ad a quick look but it was dark so cudnt really see if they were clean or not. ABS never really thort it cud b tht with it just making the noise on 1 wheel

IIRC, Bob (100Scout) had a similar issue on his gen2 and that turned out to be a cracked hub. Can you feel vibration in the steering wheel?

Think he meant vibration in the steering wheel during braking. I've had a similar issue and it was a warped brake disc

Warped disk would be my guess too. Happened to mine and it sounds very similar

yeh thts what i meant lol vibration in the steering wheel the disks looked in gd nick am i looking at a pricey ob maybe?

Mine looked fine too as far as I could see. Never looked too close at it because they were getting changed either way.

It's an easy job to do yourself really, shouldn't cost too much at a garage if you're worried about doing it yourself

check the bolts that hold the caliper carrier to the hub haven't come loose.

If you can see a warped break disk.....your not looking at the disk lol its almost impossible to see a warp

yeh rik it gets louder harder i brake and steering wheel only vibrates when a get up to like 70ish thats why i thought the tracking was out then this has started today when i brake.

The gen2 is very very sensitive to tracking. I took it to 4 different places until I got one that could get the tracking spot on. It has to be bang on parallel otherwise you will get vibration through the steering wheel. I was surprised as, normally, close is good enough for most cars.

stiff(ish) suspension though. also get the wheel balancing checked on the front wheels.....as Rik said.
