Possible brake issue

[Jonff]

Normal to heavy breaking at low-medium speeds there doesn't seem to be any issues, car stops well, although after prolonged braking the brakes do start to fade due to the crappy green stuff pads.

The issue is braking from high speeds, I get a loud grating/scraping sound which is a little disconcerting, it's a little difficult to explain and I only seem to notice it (tried to point out the noise when I've had passengers). There's no vibration through the steering wheel or through the brake pedal and the car has recently passed it's M.O.T.

Any ideas what could be causing it?

Ahhh! Presume it'll be the fronts discs with them doing majority of the work whilst braking?

 

[Riley!]

would of thought so mate, rear discs usually out live the bearings in them ha

 

[Jonff]

They're uprated discs as well, drilled discs but not sure what make they are because the previous owner fitted them.

and that was a cheeky delete Daz :rasp: haha!

Comes in handy this moderator lark!

could the holes not make them slightly noisey

Wouldn't it do it all the time during hard braking though? Suppose it's a possibility as the car does stop well enough, when the noise starts it doesn't inspire confidence lol.

also how long pads been in? they could be the problem . . .

Not sure as the previous owner fitted them too. I've had the car 8months so they've been in at least that long. There's plenty of meat on the pads though.
