Brakes Grinding & More On Expression PLus, DCI 1.5 80BHP

[Topham]

Hey Guys, i have 2 problems with my CLio Expression Plus, 1.5 DCI 80BHP.

Problem 1: Braking
I found out by absolutely filling my pants with you know what, that when braking hard the brakes grind as if its juttering to a stop, but stops smoothly, can only feel the juttering through the pedal. The car stops really good. its like the brakes cant handle the pressure and lets go if you know what i mean. but when braking gently the grinding never happens, and i think the grinding is coming from left fron wheel too.

Problem 2: Grinding
When at stop at lights, and you want to move forward i move forward by just lifting the clutch up with no acceleration as i only want to move forward abit so no need to accelerate, There grinding noise coming from front of car, could it be the drive shaft to the wheels thats grinding or??? but it doesnt happen when using acceleration.

Any help or advice would be very grateful, hoping its nothing serious as i cant afford to get anything done atm.

First one sounds like it could be the ABS?

 

[Mike@Rentech]

check the driveshaft ABS rings, they crack and cause this problem.

who can check the abs and driveshaft?

 

[Christophe]

check for any rust. Mine did it in the morning for first couple minutes. usually when its been raining. rust just starts to build up sometimes
