Hi,I've got this annoying rubbing sound which appears to be coming from the rear of my s type 03 it's not there all the time , it also seems to be dragging/pulling back slightly,any information would greatly appreciated.

 

Welcome to the forum jockmahogis,

Good to have you here with us at Jaguar forums.

You'll need to give a few more clues about the kind of sound. Metal against metal of binding brakes or worn suspension bushes; rubbing wheels against bodywork .....

Hi,thanks for reply,well had her into the garage this morning they say can't find nowt wrong,I still think there's something not right but it's intermittent so not easy I suppose to diagnose, I've booked in for a gearbox service for Monday (prevention better than a cure) and see how things pan out ,will update if/was a problem,ps my first jag lot to learn,jon.

 

Cheers mate,jon

 

Good luck with your diagnosis. Welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome to the forum jockmahogis,

Good to have you with us.
My money would be on the EPB sticking.
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Cheers mate,jon

 

Hi,this was my initial thought as the near/side/rear break pads were very well worn as opposed to the other pads, worn pads have been changed and EPB recalibrated but that doesn't mean it's not sticking on as you say,cheers jon.

Hi,thank you,

 

Any updates on your problem? I have a similar sounding problem that appears to be coming from the rear near side, and again, like yours, its intermittent.

 

Hi,no but booked in on Monday for gearbox service,then I will focus on this problem, there is something not right it's finding it especially when it's intermittent,I will post any findings,cheers jon.

 

Any updates for us yet jon,

Haven't had a chance to get under mine yet, not that i know enough about these cars to know what im looking for! :-)

 

Hi, well I've taken the jag out for a short run every night since Monday so I could listen for any repeat of this noise,not a thing,strange,not complaining though just hope it's cleared,had new pads on the rear,gearbox service,everything seems fine at the moment,cheers jon.

 

Been a little while now since your noise disappeared. Has is stayed that way?

 

Hi, I was driving the jaguar only yesterday for around 10 miles and the noise happened twice for short periods of 10 seconds,the garage checked everything for any signs of bearings wear,breaks sticking on etc but can't find anything,other than this occasional noise the car is fabulous,I'll keep snipping&pruning and hope it'll all come out in the wash,jon.
