Strange squeeks and rattles........

[Emma]

So ok driving home fom Trax last week, i noticed a squeel from my bck drivers side wheel. It goes away when i brake. After a closer inspection. Took all the dust nd **** out(still making the squueking noise). The drum seems to be bent/warped. Dont think its been something ive done, surley i would have noticed. Could it be this making the noise.

And also ive noticed today i have a real tingy rattle coming from my drivers window, when i go over a bump(but only when its open). Any ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Could the window be a loose guide channel allowing movement when its not all clamped up, ie shut. Its a door panel off job to chech the 10mm bolts holding them, while its off check the motor mountings, (also take the time to waxoyl the interior of the door to slow/prevent rust, and making sure the drain holes are clear)

i had squeaking brakes for ages, turned out that a garage had replaced the pads with poor quality replacements but the discs were badly worn and also needed replacing (original discs on a 98 hgt this summer!). i ended up replacing my front discs and pads (again) and this cured the problem. have u recently replaced any brake pads? wat car have u got and how old is it?

change your pads and possibly your discs also, mine are squeeling all the time due to the fact that I use them so hard

drum brake shoes could be on the way out too so get them changed too

Never underestimate the power of a 1.2

Im going to change the drum first, does'nt seem right thats it that twisted and bent and the brakes seem to be fine atm. They were only changed just before i bought it 7 month ago. And i really dont use my brakes that hard (i am female lol).
And as for the window im going to wait until this horrible weather dries up(hopefully by the weekend)and have a look see if it may be the runners.

Cheers lads
