Brian's right, you shouldn't really be that paranoid...it just sounds ghey lol (the grinding that is). There have been reports of warped rotors, get that checked. I had the guys check that for me and they greenlighted that. Was fine. So they champfered the rotors and changed the pads for me. Hasn't done much so far, no grinding at all, or squeaking. Now, the engine noise. I reckon it is the bearing in the alternator (as stated before, cheers mate). I personally HATE the fecking sound lol. That can be changed under warranty (cheers again mate ;)) PS: Tell Brian I love him for running a 14.4 lmao
