Brakes or suspension noise

[James45LW]

I'm still suffering after my recent cerbie service (2 weeks ago). First opportunity to drive it fast was tonight - I noticed a quiet'ish rumbling noise going round fast left handers and a chirping noise on the straights - any ideas, bearing, brakes or both? Everything was fine before the service and perhaps my woes have been bad luck/timing, but I'm suspicious that it's had one hell of a thrashing. Still smiling though - why has no-one spotted me in North Hampshire?

Rumbling could be the PAS when cornering?

If I remember rightly, I only get it on rights at the moment! Ah well, only 2 weeks till the 6-monthly service

Imagine it's when all the liquid has sloshed to one side.

All my problems started with the service - clutch failed then starter motor whilst at dealer. Have to say they did an excellent job of arguing my case with the warranty company and I got both changed just for the price of the service. Just annoyed that everything that's gone wrong has coincided with the visit to the garage!!

I'd just call the dealers & tell them about it. Can you describe which dealer it was (without saying their name, of course)?

I don't think you can blame them for the starter moter judging by earlier posts.

Sounds as if it could be brake pads. Have you had new ones fitted? If so it could be that they will need 'bedding' in and sometimes this irratating 'chaffing' noise can be heard as they rub on the 'very small' high spots of the grooves on the discs, or where the pad is rubbing on a part of the disc that the old pad wasnt making contact with before. (new pads can sometimes be a millimetre or 2 bigger than the olds ones).
This can also be caused by old pads if they have been removed/disturbed during the service and are not sitting back in the calipers as they were before.
