FYI -Grinding noise on rear brakes and a ?

[legoless]

I have had some grinding noises on the rear of my 2.1td D8 estate for a while ... only when I go round left hand bends....
After a long time trying to track down the source I have finally found it the rear offside handbrake adjuster is just touching the rear hub - the bit where the brake disc and road wheels bolt on to.
I have just been on servicebox to find the part numbers for the new adjusters but theres bugger all listed... anyone able to point me to the page. I have punched in my VIN etc and looking on http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/do ... 4%2047A10A
but theres no number for the adjusters tween the shoes ....
If anyone can find the number for the adjusters and the 2 springs that hold the handbrake shoes together it would be very much appreciated

I can't find it either (I used the VIN from my D8 2.1 estate), only for drum brakes Nice one Pug

I should have thought about looking there last night while I had the arse of the car in the air! Well done for spotting that - when I get my car back I'll have a look see if that's what's causing my identical symptoms

If I get sufficiently bored tonight I'll have a look see if I can find the p/n for you

What's actually wrong with your adjuster which makes it hit the hub? Is it bent or something?

It has just enough play to move about and it makes the exact noise I`m hearing when i put a tiny bit of pressure on it with my hand and let it touch the hub and spin the hub itself .. so I thought I had it finally sussed.

However.....

Today I went to the main stealers and was told... the adjusters and spring are only available as a complete kit that you get when you buy the hand brake shoes..... for £125 quid odd.... so I`m gonna raid the breakers for some. Thats why theyre not on service box as a seperate item

I also found when I just had the brake disc on without all the brake pads calipers shoes etc mounted I could also get some noise if I didnt have those little torx screws done up much tighter then I normally have them, I`m wary of the little blighters after the fun and games I had with the very first set I had to undo.
So before you go too far make sure you copper grease up the above screws and tweak em down a bit tighter than normal and try a test run.
My backplate was rusty so I did a real good clean up and put some cure rust on it to stop it getting any rustier.
This grating has driven me nuts as everything has been checked and I found no movement in any suspension parts or hub but by simply cleaning the rust , checking the handbrake was adjusted properly and finally putting a bit of teddy on those screws it has finally disappeared. ( i have cleaned the discs a few times already but never got rid of the left hander grating noise)

They are scum!!

Addendum: The back plates on my D8 are terrible, they're made out of sheet steel and are always rubbing on the disks. New ones are rather pricey (something like £80 a piece) and removing the hub bearings means destroying them (according to HBoL) (£180 a piece )

On the other hand, 250ml of Hammerite Kurust costs £6.29...
