Help with rear brake/handbrake sound...

Hi motorers,

I've came across many small problems with my MCS but this one is driving me crazy!

My dealer changed both front and rear brake pad, and front discs one month ago... Since then, my rear brake and/or handbrake make an annoying grinding sound... My dealer changed the rear calipers this morning and the sound is still there...

It comes from the rear brake, it does the sound even when I don't touch the brakes... If I pull the handbrake a bit (1 click), it sometimes don't do the annoying noise...

I went 4 times to my dealer to get this repaired and it still does it... Everything is brand new (pads, disc, calipers).

Does anyone had this problem or know something to help me??

Thanks for any help! I'm looking foward to get this fixed because my MCS sits in my driveway since one month...

I'd suggest you try to find a small, independant service facility. I can't speak for all dealers, but I'm sure there are a number of dealers still out there charging far too much while providing substandard service.
