As Any One Else Had This Happen

[why me]

Hi while on hols in Cornwall recently i parked up while we did a bit of shopping at a tesco newquay. As i set off there was an almighty noise it sounded like tin cans being dragged behind the car, I assumed it was an old Toyota behind me as every one was looking at it as though they though it was,

After a short while i realized it could be my car so stopped the Toyota drove past guess what no noise, i set off again and the noise was excruciating i got my son in law to get out and try and pinpoint where the noise was coming from he said it sounded like the back passenger side wheel. Now the panic set in as i could imagine the holiday being ruined while ford played at mending it. Any way we took the wheel off and the noise sounded as though it was coming from the plate at the back of the brake disc. I peered in between the disc and the plate as best i could and could see one large stone it was so large we had a right job getting it out. Once out we tried to see how it got in and the only place it would fit was through a slot cut out of the back plate it only just fit the hole the son inlaw suggested i must have been the butt of a joke by some one as the only way he could see it getting in was to be actually pushed it. AS this happend to any one else?

Ha Ha Ha yep its a cracking noise when you hear it you think something is SERIOUSLY wrong. Its more common than you realise, had one recently on an Audi rear brake that i went out too, best part was she was at a flower show and the parking was on Grass. You tent to get it alot aswell when the council decide to re-tarmac ( as they call it ) with the little stones and the speed limit is down to 10mph.

The best part is the look on their faces when you show them what was making the noise
