When you say "grinding" can you be more descriptive? Could it be the ABS kicking in for some reason, and its this you are hearing? You would feel this through the pedal as well! Does it happen when steering straight ahead, turning, or both?yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Hi I can not feel anything through the pedal , when I press the pedal it sounds like grinding like you need new brakes this happens intermediate turning right and left also when not turning sound like grinding / rubbing
Like when the car has been sat up for say 2/3 weeks and you use it and for a couple of mins when braking it sound like grinding any help on this is really appreciated thank you

Take it back to whoever fitted the brakes and pads ASAP, did you have front and rear fitted or just the rear?
If the brakes are grinding the vehicle should be used as little as possible or not at all or you will have another large bill to pay.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
