well this aint a question but thought i would post it in case someone here had a similar problem.:)

basicaly i started to get an intermittent grinding noise from rear passenger side wheel it was really loud sometimes, it would happen mostly when i was going up multi story car park ramps quickly and also sometimes after reversing and then going forward. the problem seemed to be made worse if i had passengers in car. i assumed a suspension problem soo i took a chance lol and booked into fiat garage yes yes i know that was risky :D but woo they sorted and cheaply aswell. turns out that some how water had gotten into the rear brake drum, this mixed with the brake dust to form a gritty thick paste wich had basically spread itself over parts were only qualified mechanics should go lol sooo they cleaned it all out adjusted brake shoes and voila drivess like new again :) for once i love fiat dealers :D and alison on the front desk was quite nice to ;)
