Light grinding/scraping noise (ZS EV Mk2)

[Mcgrst]

Went to go out for an hour this afternoon but the car seems to have developed a light grindy scraping sound when going forward, its worse at full lock and not present in reverse. Its not terribly loud, just a bit worried its running gear. Can't get to the dealer until mid May (!)

Any ideas?

I had a similar experience before (same car) and it was a small bit of stone stuck in the gap between the brake guard and the brake disk. I managed to get it out but sticking my hands through the alloy and flexing the brake guard a bit. Hopefully this is the problem you’re facing.

Yeah, I think I read your thread it was the no noise in reverse that worried me! I'll give the guard a wiggle when I finish work, at least its not raining I suppose!

To close out. It was a small stone between the guard and the bottom of the disk, wasn't even on the braking surface. Managed to get a pen in and flick it out.
