Will just be grit / road salt.Unless it was when you pulled away, my rear brakes bind slightly and then are fine after a few yards - in this cold weather.My front pads managed approx 13K and I drove it HARD!! So no way yours are out at 3,500. LOL.When they are on their way out they will start to squeak and shimmer slightly when you brake.
Well, thats what I thought, but when the brakes (discs and pads) died on my works van a few weeks ago, the noise was the same, just a lot louder.
