have a problem on my TD4 sport 05. under breaking get a clonk noise like metal on metal. its not constant just the one noise. it will vary in loudness depending upon speed etc

replaced caliper pins as thought this may have caused the movement to cause the noise but despite intial success it has started again.

anyone with any thought I would be really grateful?!

the holes in the pads may have worn? Replace the pads (both sides) and use a new fitting kit when you do it.

when I break initially it will make the noise if I release the break and then re-apply pressure it wont make it.

I know disco calipers are prone to wearing so that the pads slidecthrough onto the hub. Could this be it?

well you see i think it must be transmission related, 'cos the faster i go the louder it gets!

It does get quite weary though.
