Ive just done the brakes, no difference. Whilst under the car as I'd forgotten the caliper pin covers(replacing them I mean) I saw why Im getting a knock. The aircon pump pulleys rusted and fallen apart. The main pulley parts fine but it has a lip away from the central spgot and thats rusted through and is hanging proud. Obviously the faster I drive the faster it gets rotated. So sourcing an aircon pump to replace and will be cutting this loose metal off asap.

But brakes done and Baufix rust/metal protection painted up. So nice and tidy and no more braking worries although the pedal does feel a lot lighter now.
