Noisy brakes after brake work
I stripped down the brakes on the front of my Vauxhall Vectra 1.8 2004 reg to clean up and replace the sensor. Ever since this on the drivers side front every time I break it clunks/knocks more noticeable between the speeds of 20mph to 50mph.

Difficult to answer without looking at it but we would suspect that you have not re assembled correctly. Given that it is the braking system we would advise an early inspection of the brakes. You may be able to use the left hand side as a reference.

Far better than previous Vectra. Now with decent handling and an excellent ride. Plenty of safety kit. Roomy in the front. Big boot. Good looks.
