Intresting this,

I have the exact same problem

took it to vaux twice and they said there is nothing that is causin it, and at one stage said they coulnt even here it!!

I will be suprised if they replace your pads under warrenty as that is just general wear and tear of the car,

I am taking my car on the 30th to a garage i have used before, and he knows about the problem, he is going to proper diagnose the fault for me so i can goto vaux and tell them to fix it!!
