No strange noises, just nothing at all. Like it's completely disconnected. What was the cause in your Megane, and how much did that set you back?

Mine was silent too. Eventually, the mechanic told me the electric motor in the brake caliper had given up. Given you have the error code, I'd take it to a workshop to have it checked properly.

Thanks! I booked it in, and you were spot on. Turns out the electric motor in the brake caliper was indeed faulty. Cost me 505€ to get it fixed. Appreciate the help!

That sounds familiar. I had almost the exact same thing happen in my old Renault Megane. Is it making any weird noises when you try to engage the parking brake?
