Loud 'Clunk' When Braking?
bodger00:
Ok I can't solve the dentist issue I will leave that to Paul Mckenna. However, I have managed to fix my sqeeky brakes using these:

Trust me they do work as long as you make sure the back of the pad is cleaned with something like white sprit. It does come with a wipe but i didn't think much of it.
Hope they fix it for you :happy2:

Thought I would bump this up instead of starting a new one.
Having another clunking issue, it's deffo a clunk this time and not the rear balls hitting.
Drove very very slow with all windows sunroof etc open and brake and there's a loud clunk, sounds like it's coming from the wishbone area? I got all wheels off checked calipers were tight as there seams to be movement in the brake pedal when it clunks?
It just sounds horrible and doesn't sound good at all, car is fine on full lock and does nothing. Happens every time I brake at any speed?
Any ideas?
flyboy1976:
what brakes have you fitted to the car? are you using R32 setup on the front? have the brakes been worked on lately?
Betty02:
Standard brakes,they have just been used normally no high speeds or track days, have tried slamming on a few times to see if it does anything but have had no luck? Replaced the shims to stop squeeky brakes but still nothing.
Betty02:
Still causing me agro! Got worse is anything and louder! I can tap my brakes 6-7 times in a row and it will do it each time!
Plenty of pad and disc life left! Had squeaking brakes too and now replaced the copper grease with rubber shims.
It's not the rear boot things it's defiantly coming from the wheels/bay!
Can do it at 5mph, slamming on at 70 or even just slowing down to come to a junction. Sure I can feel a slight jump on the brake pedal too?
Taken it to 3 garages none cab find out what it is!
