    Help with noise

    I have an import (to the UK) Pajero
    5 door, LWB 2800 Diesel
    There is a kind a sssshhhhh........ noise coming from outside only whilst
    moving,
    when the brakes are applied the noise goes away, release the brakes and it
    comes back again.
    I seem to remember some time ago reading on this NG that the imports have
    slightly thinner brake disks and are more prone to warping, could it be that
    that's making the noise?
    Has anybody else had this and what is the resolution?

    Many thanks for any help.

    Warping would be noticable with a wobble through the steering when using
    the brakes.
    seems to me you have a 'squeeking' brake shim/disk, try a pressure wash
    of the wheels/discs then drive, if no or short relief try cleaning the
    pads and discs.

    Some smaller fast fit oprations do a very cheap brake service and will
    note any faults.

    Parts can be had quite cheaply, a simple search revealed...
    Shogun Pajero 2.8 TD
    Pads No. 781 about £30 inc VAT and nxt day delivery
    Discs vary with vented no.2034 at £39 eask inclusive.
    Vented Disc 276 x 24mm
    Imported - Disc No. 2109 £82 each. as they are larger diameter 314 x 24mm
    note the same thickness.

    I am not recommending the parts location as not used them. if you wish
    I'll post the link later.

    it may be the wear indicators on your brake pads, they do have tendency to
    stop making noise when the brakes are applied. check your brake pads
    (remove the wheel to check th inside ones, dont just look through the wheel)

    Thanks guys, it is kind of what I expected (and hoped) it to be.
    I have not had a chance to check these things out yet, but I will.
    Thanks again
