Clicking from rear(?) wheel sounds like stone but isn't??

[snipez999]

DB9.2 recently collected done 1000 miles only.
On left handers I can sometimes hear a clicking which sounds like a stone in the tread but had a good look and nothing obvious there.
Anyone else experienced or got any clues?

Try reversing a stone caught in the guard IMO. Forward nd reverse motion should clear it.

Can also be the brake pad sensor that's come loose and is clicking off the wheel. Check this and pads - two most likely.

Thanks. Will take her in for the techies to check over.

Mine was low brake pads strangely... Was concerned it was CV joints.

Mine was LOOSE brake discs!!* Like you, thought it was a torn CV joint boot or something.

• these were fitted by DMS before they shut down. The fronts were so badly fitted they warped, the rears were left loose. Awesome

As my car is only a few weeks old I was hoping for something straightforward like a hidden nailhead in a tyre or something worked loose from the G force ;-)

Car went in yesterday. Full inspection and nothing found. Strangely though the noise has now disappeared! The cynic on me says they did something but don't want to tell me what!!
Anyway happy bunny time again. Plus I found the 'keep in sport mode' setting in the menu so have it on full audio dynamite mode permanently now :-)

Sounds very much like a sensor wire in that case! Stone they would see.

The sensor wire is a pain and unclips a lot from the caliper during washing. Will sound like a constant clicking if it then touches the disc during driving. If they took the wheel off and even moved it slightly off the disc = noise gone. Took me a long time to figure out when it kept appearing and re-appearing!

Wonder if they can program the V12V to have this menu setting.

Aaaaagh it's back again this morning. Off to the dealer later

Only 8 years later, but here goes... did you ever find out the issue??

Have what sounds like the same problem on my Rapide... clicking noise from rear wheel, that is unrelated to whether I am accelerating or braking, but has a quicker rhythm at faster speeds, and noticeable when cornering.

Thanks
