Sounds like one of Muads songs!

Check brake fluid, pads and brake disk guards. Bleed the braking system. have a good luck in the engine bay and underneath the engine to see if anything looks out of place.

Oi! U saying that everything has been going wrong with my car?
If you are - you're right ;-)

She's running like a - well - like a good proper car now.. :-)

Gumballer -> When did you last check your pads? Does she brake straight?
Does the disc show any signs of odd wear in one side compared to the other? If you pump the pedal with the engine running does it go HARD after two pumps - and does it stay hard (the pedal people, the pedal!!)..

Thank you CJ, I'm indebted to you once again.
Brake disc guards, that's just what I was posting about earlier.
I'm pretty sure I'm talking about the right thing here.
It's the bit that sits behind the disc and has an outward pointing lip.

Mine is bent on driver's side and is possibly causing my 65MPH-75MPH vibration / rattle.

Can you point me in the right direction for one from Camskill and is there much involved in replcaing one?
Does the whole hub have to come off?
