Hi,

While braking in my clio 16v, i can hear a clicking sort of knocking noise coming from the rear of the car.

Thing is i went to the gargae and told them about this and they couldnt find anything wrong Crying or Very sad

Any ideas?

I would have hoped the garage would have picked up on that :O

Ive been told it could possibly be a loose calliper or a stciking pad?

won't be a sticking pad, might be a missing pad retaining plate.

check its not cracked, take the pad carrier off and tap it with a hammer it should ring, if it doesn't then its cracked.

since the carrier will be off you can check the rest of it as well.

What was it that caused the noise?
I'm having a similiar problem that only occurs when I'm coming to stop. It kicks in about 20mph (or thats when i notice it at least) then gets slower and slower in time with the wheel speed until i come to a stop.
I'm guess its something to do with the brakes (it comes from the front right), If I remember correctly the springing bolt on the caliper was seized on the left and very stiff on the right, a possible cause? (my mate said it was like that on his old one and fine)

I originally thought it was the pas pump being f00ked causing the belt to skip and click, but its so consistent with the slowing down thing.
