Ok, it's partly my fault because I was alittle tired, but went through some stupid roadworks where there was no warning of a ramp then all of a sudden had to brake hard because this weird kerb like speed bump was in front, it looked really strange, it seemed like a really high kerb , twice as high as a normal kerb , it's was crazy lol

It happens both stationary and moving, so can't be wheels or brakes lol -

Yes there is rust underneath car, the thing is, when My mechanic phoned me mid morning to say he couldn't find anything, I reminded him about the rust underneath, he knows this because he put a sort of advisory in the service paper when he serviced it at Xmas . I'm Not very good with cars so if he has said he's looked, I can't really demand look again. Dunno what to do, also even though the noise is not loud, I can slightly feel it as well as hear it lol. I suppose the main dealer toyota would charge me a fortune to diagnose it ? -
I've known the garage for years, it's a good garage but they couldn't find anything wrong with it, I'm sure I'm not hearing things, but somethings not right. It's hard to explain noises, it's not loud, it's like a quiet, mild spade scraping on the floor, happens about twenty percent of a journey I do. So basically the garage are saying that famous saying, ' don't fix it until it's breaks' but as you know, on cars, when it brakes it could be too late eg when a cambelt snaps and smashes the engine lol. My mechanic suggested recording it on my phone but it's not loud enough, I don't think, to record it

A/c was off, trying to use the car as least as possible until Monday , as long as the engine light doesn't come on I'm hoping I'll be alright. I can't moan, had the car nearly two years, Not one problem, apart from rear discs and pads which is just wear and tear. I suppose even Aurises aren't invincible, brilliant cars though, just abit awkward 😀

Maybe brakes or calliper area ? Had rear discs and brakes done in April so I would have thought the garage would have mentioned the front ones are going out. The noise is like a cross between something dragging on the floor and chalk to a black board, abit hard to explain, but it's Not a grinding or squeeky noise lol 🙂🙂
