common ive found on lots of vauxhalls is brake pads rattle when handbrake released, when driving and rattling starts try applying brakes or just pull handbrake slightly so preasure applied(not to lock them as this would be dangourous) hth and cures your problem

But the handbrake operates shoes inside the disc on the Omega (and most Vauxhalls actually)  ;)

I agree... I broke the pig tail off a rear spring about 3 weeks ago and have exactly the same noise :y
