Strange things

[stelf1]

i was driving around yesterday and i noticed a noise coming from my front right wheel it sounds like a brake squealing but my foot is not on the break and the hand break is not on it is not a constant noise it might do it for a minute and then stop and not do it for 10-15 mins and then do it again if anyone has any ideas of what it could be or has experienced this before any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

depending on what your driving most likely you are wanting new brake pads

On brake calipers, factory fitted is a wear indicator plate. When your pads wear, they rub on your disc, making an annoying squealing scraping noise even when brakes are not applied if they are worn that far down.

thanks for all the help guys turns out it was the brake pad wear indicators so had them replaced cars working good again
