i have had a squeaky rear drum since i bought my Corsa C 1.2 16v SXI in january. It was a year old wen i bought it (2003 model).
I have taken the car into vauxhall about 8 times or so now. They have replaced the whole drum, along with 2 wheel bearings. It still squeaks! They clearly don't have a clue what to do, as they just keep cleaning it and saying everything seems fine, and they can't hear it on a road test.
It is a very intermittent fault which is making it harder to solve. Their last venture was to change the drum's back plate, however they ordered the wrong fcuking side, so i got up at 7.30am on a sat' for nothing!
Has any1 had a similar fault on their C? Does any1 have ne ideas of what it could be?
Cheers
Dave
