How do I report a post? I thought this post would be about flatulence. I'm disappointed.

Not particularly from wind, but had road stones and twigs get between the disc and back plate.

A road stone can make the most horrid noise. Need to pull in, get in reverse and hope it drops back out as easy as it got in.

Last visit to the garage, I arrived with a growling/rubbing noise from the rear O/S wheel. At least once on the ramp the tech could see a large twig jammed in there, one I'd picked up on the stormy drive down to the garage.

Few weeks back had a rubbing sound from the N/S front, same thing, a twig picked up from road debris after a stormy night. Had to take the wheel off to get that one out, as it was impossible to get at.

So it is fairly common then! I'm just surprised it managed to get in while my car was parked on the drive!

I did the reverse and go forwards thing a few times while turning the wheels and it eventually came out.

Very surprised you can hear anything above the diesel drone.....

Most fortunate you have ACS springs.

X drives must be more exposed to side winds than the top of the Shard...

Certainly is common up here, I've had quite a few incidents in different cars over the years. One of the worse was in the 330d, made a horrible screech when I picked up a stone while driving along about 30mph. First layby, pulled in and did the 'rock to and fro' trick and cleared the stone.

"All weather" suspension is not a new idea...
