I have a little story I thought I'd share with you guys. So after having my front and rear discs, pads, sensors and handbrake shoes changed my car would occasionally make a scraping sound. The sound would't change if I applied brakes etc.
So I took it right back to the dealership and went for the drive with the workshop manager who assured me this is normal for new pads and discs. So I asked why then is the pitch of the sound not changing when I apply brakes. "oh it might be the handbrake shoes but do 1000km first and then come back".
Ok anyway the sound became more intermittend and then only occured after enthusiastic driving (when brakes got hot). So I booked it in to the dealership but before dropping the car off I first got out my beloved gopro hd cam and strapped it to the side of my car and made a video of the sound.

So when I got to the dealership they all watched the video and assured me that this was not "normal". Anyway the problem has now been resolved, they removed all discs, pads, sensors and even the handbrake shoes. It turns out there was a little stone stuck in the rear left brake caliper.
Personally I think without the video they would have just said oh ok we will see, but because I had "proof" they were under a bit of pressure.
