Good morning. :D Sounds like the noise may be the anti rattle shims which the pads clip into (Or lack of them. ) As for pads. There`s quite a lot of debate as to which is best. I personally have Mintex pads fitted which seem to cope ok. Incidentally i think i`m right in saying that Mintex are part of thr TMD Friction group who also make Pagid and Textar pads. So perhaps they`ll all be pretty similar.

I think I have this noise!!!!!! I have described it as 'bunch of keys rattling on disc'

How do I check if I have anti-rattle shims?
