Click sound when I brake

When I press the brake there is quite a loud click sound. When I brake at faster speeds it doesn't happen only when it's doing anything upto 30mph. I've taken it to the garage and they can't find fault with it at all. If any of you have a clue I'd really appreciate it. [-o<

I am sure some one will be along in a moment to tell you exactly how to do it.

Front Brakes are full of dust I should think, going on past visitors to me with Bongo's..... :wink: your brakes will be "sticking" slightly then make a slight click when light pressure on the brakes becomes heavier....hence why you don't hear it under heavier braking at faster speeds...... a quick spray of brake cleaner will sort it.... till they get full of dust again....

look on this link.

you may find that the little stainless sliders that are next to the pads and support them at the edges are missing.
some of the cheaper branded pads are also the wrong size to fit snugly in the calliper, this isnt really all that bad, but the better brands tend to fit tighter so no clicking.
