Hi, any advice appreciated. Recently have noticed an occasional clunking noise when I brake. Doesn't happen often enough to tell if it happens at a certain speed, going round a bend, etc. I know probably best to take it to garage to be checked but want to be prepared!
It's a Saab 900S 2.0 1997 convertible, 57000 miles

You'll eventually find the problem and in the mean time, check Saab's service bulletin titles for problems with your car. Here's examples below. You can get the full text service bulletin from the NHTSA website. Then take a copy of it to your car dealer and ask him to look it up to see if it may apply to your complaint. Other owner's of your car may have experienced the same problem (see the MyCarStats website below)

they have incredibly much actually positioned low value $hit pads interior the callipers. The clunking noise is the pad damn around interior the calliper no longer risky merely bloody stressful and pointless. And yet another element, I guess they broke that ABS sensor whilst they have been farting around unnecessarily changing the disk. definite they're taking the piss, tell them to interchange the pads with some respectable ones and tell them to make confident you re-connect the ABS sensor this time. do no longer enable them to fob you off putting copper grease on the pads - that could treatment the undertaking for all of a hundred yards. And in the event that they advise welding a strip of steel to the lower back of the pads to cause them to in high-quality condition greater valuable (definite, that has passed off) run to your life.

"clunk"?
It can't be good......
It could be any number of things.
Loose caliper?
Broken bushing in the suspension?
It's hard to say......
