Thank you Matt - this is a new area for examination, and that makes sense. I will raise as a possible fault when I get an appointment with garage. Kindest regards Steve.

Thanks Clifford…. Oh dear……I think I will need to get it to a reputable garage. It is so difficult to diagnose without hearing the noise, and I am very grateful for all your comments. I will post progress. Kindest regards

Thanks Clifford, no it doesn’t. I’m almost sure now (thanks for everyone’s help) that it’s not brake related, but a gearbox issue. Does anyone know if these gearboxes cause a grinding sound at low speed. Someone suggested getting the gearbox oil checked/changed??

Hi Steve, thanks for your response. Did as you suggested, but it doesn’t appear to be that. Others I have spoken to seem to think it’s gearbox issue…….Aghhh!, kindest regards and thanks again. Steve

Hi, I’m a new member seeking, any advice please, regarding a grating/grinding sound I’m getting (particularly at low speed) which appears to lessen as the engine warms up. (I think the sound is like brakes when they are worn down). The noise corresponds with the revolution of the wheels……a friend has suggested gearbox issue. Any advice/ help would be greatly appreciated, as I am not mechanically minder. My car is a 2009, 1.8 SE automatic and has 62,000 miles. Many thanks for any help out there. Kindest regards. Steve
