Took my car into the dealer today to investigate a rattle from from brakes.I have had the car from new in March 2012 and did not notice any rattle until the last 3 or 4 months but has now been getting worse.I thought at first it maybe just a loose heat shield but then found the rattle stopped when the brakes were applied so this raised my concerns and booked it into be checked.The technician took the car out for a test drive and was also concerned as he had not heard a rattle like this on any other car,he checked the calipers and wheels and suspension and found nothing,on a second look he noticed that the spring on the caliper is missing and was probably like that from new ,so this maybe causing the pads to rattle,a new spring is now on order for Tuesday to see if this fixes the problem.
I hope this is a one off problem but it is worth just checking to see if your springs are in place.
