You could take it to a car detailer (or similar bussiness), who can apply a spray on product, similar to body schultz. I know of one here in wollongong that does it for all new BMW's and Falcons. Apparently it reduces the outside noise heaps. I think that it is appliedd to the wheel arches and the under body. Problem is, you get tar like black crap all over the underside of your car. However if they are careful during the application there shouldn't be much over spray on parts that may require mechanical attention in the future. I've been considering doing it to my car for a while now, if I get it done I'll post back and let you know how it goes

I was sure I wasn't the only one ot there. I didn't realise that there was a standard drag applied to the hand brake. After hearing these few experiences hopefully they can nut mine out first time. I tell you what though, it does get embaressing when cruising and all you can hear is this constant rubbing noise. Thanks everyone for the advice, at least now I can go to my friendly ford dealer armed with a little knowledge. cheers

Hello anyone who is interested!! I've had a BA xr6t since september '04, after about 1200km's while driving thru a carpark I noticed a grinding/rubbing noise coming from what seemed liked the brakes. At this stage it was intermetent so I didn't think much of it. Now at 9000km's the noise is more noticable, usually when driving between 20-40 km/h (wind noise may have something to do with not hearing it at higher speeds). It seems to be louder once the brakes get hotter. I noticed a xr6 driving past me and it had the same noise coming from it's car. Has anyone had the same experience with this problem and if so, what causes it and how can it be fixed? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My apologies if this issue has been addressed in another forum. Regards
