Did you check the wheel bearing?
If it needs adjustment/replacement, it would rub on the pads when turning.
Would also cause a 'long' pedal when braking.

thanks for your reply,yes checked the bearing,think the pad/caliper has moved to the inside of the hub as it is bright...thing that gets me is its only a 2007 reg !! >:(
