Hi guys,

I assume some other Dogs have had the same problem, so just a quick one, the front discs are attached using a "bobbin" with a spring "wavy" washer underneath. These eventually relax, then the discs rattle around, (grip the disc and it should not rattle) this was notably horrible on the rocky stuff on Saturday, it sounded like it was a bag of bolts. Bought new wavy,s yesterday and fitted them last night, an hour or so later (cleaning of old loctite off) all rattles gone.
