I have an intermittent problem,
the car makes a sort of wooooooo noise that appears to be coming from the front nearside wheel, it happens most when towing a caravan at motorway speeds although it does occur when driving solo, it doesn't happen much when driving around town. When the noise starts if i just raise the handbrake lever above the stop (not applying the brake) the noise stops immediatly. I've had sticking handbrake mechanism on that corner and the dealer said it needed a new caliper so i had them do it, i also asked them to check the wheel bearing at the time, they said it was ok, the noise went away for a while but now its back. please help its driving me crazy on long runs.
oh btw the cars only done 27000 miles.

Have a look what the front disc's are like, if they have a build up of scale at the inner or outer periphery of the swept area, either chip it off or fit some new disc's and pads.
Examine the disc for any strange wear patterns, if you see a pattern that coincides with the ribs in the disc, change them.
