suspicious noise?

[ypkx]

discovered a weird noise this morning coming from under the car, sounded like a big bit of metal dragging under the car at low speeds near 5mph! but the faster you go the least it will make noise.
Couldnt find anything under the car that looked loose but thought at start it sounded like brake pads in the hub, but forgot the cars on 4 discs. (doh)
Now i have NO idea whatsoever where and what that noise is, worst of all, i cannot afford it right now!

Would anyone, or can anyone identify this noise?

Stone stuck between pad and disc?

Had something similar on our 124. The parking brake pads had disintegrated. The 124 has drums for the parking brake as well as discs for normal brakes. Not sure if 202 is the same but worth checking.

Does your car have plastic wheel arch liners? One of them might've let go.

I'm not sure if i've misread your post or if you had misread mine.

Yes it does! And speaking of which, i did hit something really hard this morning which sounded like my wheels hit the top of the arch!
But what would it be scraping on?

Indeed it does, but the parking brake is a drum mechanism on the inside of the disc.

is it usually front or back?

The parking brake drums are on the back but the noise can travel and fool you. On ours it sounded like it was under the middle of the car but the location was pretty obvious if heard from outside.
