I just bought a second hand Peugeot 107, 06 reg plate. It makes a clunking noise when I brake gently, but only when the car has been drive for about 15 minutes and has been warmed up. I have just had new brakes and discs fitted yet they still make a noise. The garage also cannot find what’s wrong with it.

Does anyone know what could be wrong with it, or how to fix the problem. It would be very much appreciated.

Is the clunking at wheel rotatation speed ie. once every revolution of the wheels or is it random?

Once the car is warmed up, the brakes clunk every time I touch them.

Just once or continually?

Presumably this is the front brakes, I suppose the noise is not coming from the rear?

If you have changed the pads and discs its difficult to imagine, is it just a noise or can you feel any vibration when they clonk?

Its just constantly making a clunking noise when I brake, and you can't feel nothing.
