Expensive noise
Figured out that the noise coming from the white truck is probably expensive. Well, duh, that ain't rocket science.
The banging, scraping and groaning is coming from the rear passenger side wheel. Either the brakes are binding, there's a large stone or piece of flint stuck between the brakes and the disc, or, most probably, the brake pads are slipping in the callipers and catching on the wheel. The entire drive train shudders when it happens, the front end of the truck lurches to the right, as the rear left wheel is basically braked.
Sarah asked me if this was dangerous. Um, probably. Well, depends what speed I'm travelling at when the wheel jams solid, I guess. Or, if the brake disc shatters, depends on who is in the immediate vicinity.
You know, you spend all your time trying to hold everyone else together, but when you start to come apart at the seams, the buggers just come and nick your stuffing.

Am sure we can arrange some restuffing next time we see you! Will chocolate cake do in the absence of kapok?
((hugs))
