I have just taken possession of a frl 2 gs td4 auto, love the car but find the brakes a bit noisy as if they were always wet is this the norm for freelanders

i don't notice my brakes making any noise, whether wet or dry

Could there be a bit of debris caught inbetween the brakes and the disc

or it could be a worn wheel bearing, i had a whirring noise all the time and thought it was my handbrake, but turned out to be a bearing Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Me neither. Sounds like a trip to the stealers  Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass

Brakes on mine don't make any particular noise. Work fine too

Depends upon mileage. Mine started at 12.5k miles and 14 months old just after the first service..
Went back to stealer and they cleaned out the debris in the callipers /handbrake drums under warranty and said that they have done this to several vehicles and would be claiming from Land Rover as it is not included in the first service and are pressing for it to be put on th schedule.

Thanks for your reply I am takibg it in on Friday and with a bit of luck hopefully it will just be a clean out job even though my frl has only done 6.5k
