Had my front disc and pads replaced a few months ago and I have noticed a rubbing sound coming from the front when stopping.

The disc and pads are unipart, long story and lessons have been learnt about how this came about... but I have also had a brake wear message pop up everynow and then. The rears are find, very minor lip on the disc and the pads again fine.

Had a quick visual inspection and the disc and pad look fine, no grooves or abnormal wear that I can see.

Any ideas? I hate the unipart disc/pad, absolute sh1te... and to make matters worse I had my pants pulled down for them.
 
Have you checked the ABS wiring isn't touching anywhere?

Would they be visible without taking the wheel off? I was thinking maybe something is stuck in the calliper or pad?
 
You need to take the wheel off, that way you can get behind the disc to have a proper look.

Thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow.
