Question 1

Why is my car making a grinding noise when I brake?

Accepted Answer

The most common cause is worn brake pads that have reached metal-to-metal contact with the disc. This damages the disc rapidly and needs urgent attention. Other causes include a seized caliper, a stone trapped between pad and disc, or corroded discs after the car has sat unused.
