| Car braking problem suddenly stops. 17:56 - Sep 21 with 2705 views | Mercian |
My front passengers side front wheel was loudly squeaking when I applied the brakes and making a cruching sound when I braked hard, I also had a crunching sound when I applied the brakes hard. I also had a warnig light on the dash I had a look at the pads through the wheels and now all three issues have stopped and the brakes seem to be working perfectly. I am thinking I may have loosened something trapped between the pad and the disk. Does anyone who has any knowledge of such issues offer any advice.
Thanks. [Post edited 21 Sep 2025 17:56]

as you say sounds like a small stone between the pad and disk which has either ground down or has fallen out. |  | | |

I agree with Mellowblue on this. I’d be inclined to get the brakes checked out at some point through. Brakes and tyres are the only between you and having a very bad day. [Post edited 21 Sep 2025 19:29]

Sounds like a seizing caliper to me. Have had 2 replaced on my Mazda CX5 in the last 3 years. |  | | |

Squeaking might’ve been a mouse?
Crunching also.
Hence no more noise from said mouse.

Mouse and cornflakes is my diagnosis. |  |

Agree. I have had that a couple of times. It sounds horrendous at the time but then it drops out and all seems well. But it may have damaged the disc. Best just to get it looked at to be safe. |  | | |

Cornflakes sound likely as they’re definitely crunchy. I think we can rule out Rice Krispies as those would more likely to produce a snap, crackle or pop. | |

It's grim oop North... coming out of Blackburn, I had a tyre pressure warning. Luckily, modern tech informed me each tyre was about 10% low. I drove on. Checked an hour later, and 2 of the tyres were now OK (driver's side, probably cos I'm a fat git). An hour later, and the warning light went off.
Obvs, temperature-related. It did make me wonder what tolerance I should allow, if 2.2 bar - 2.4 bar variation happens in a single trip. | | | |

I had a similar warning driving around the Mourne mountains,it seems tyre pressure’s don’t like altitude either👍 | | | |
