Default I'm noticing a very slight grinding at low speeds

I'd say at around 5-15 mph. I feel it under braking and under acceleration. Any ideas or thoughts ? I'm thinking front wheel bearings? At first I thought rotors or pads but it's under acceleration as well... Thanks fellas !!!!

I hate to say it, but it is very hard to recommend issues with noises. What a noise sounds like may be different for each person. Is there a way you can record the noise and post it?

Not necessarily a noise more of a grinding kinda like metal on metal . Something you would feel like when ya riding the brakes metal on metal.

It could be the brakes if the pads are not lifting completely off the rotors.

What would be the cause of this and is it a known issue?

Hi,
Mine has a very similar noise, I've tried to locate it but to no avail, mine also makes a noise driving along up to 50mph difficult to explain the type of noise, wheel bearing sort of but not coming from the wheels?, but if accelerating hard it is quite, only when you ease your foot of and coming to a halt the noise is back, however sometimes when I take out of drive before I come to a stop the noise is not there, pointing to a gearbox problem.
The gearbox does change gear nice and smooth,

don't know if that helps any...


regards.

Sticking and rust in the calipers. It can be an issue on any car, but not necessarily Jaguars in particular.
