I've just had brand new drums, disks and shoes fitted to my Corsa B, now when I brake there is a relatively loud grinding noise which doesn't sound too good...

Is this a normal thing to happen with new brakes or do I need to get the car back to the garage and have a moan?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Is it from the front or rear, could have a pad around the wrong way it does happen or shim problem, if its garage take it back let them test drive it, something wrong there .

Yea I though it was odd, I'm going to take it back today and hopefully get it sorted.

@barneykarl It sounds like its coming from the rear drivers side but it could be grinding at the front too as its hard to tell.

Thanks for the replies
