Not neccessarily,do you have wear on the discs?

Discs are 2 years old, just put fresh pads on couple of weeks ago, slight lip on the pads, nothing big.
Chances are that guncharmer is spot on but...... if something has broken you want to find it now not while cruising on the motorway.

Jack the front end up, wheels off & check that all the caliper bolts are tight and that the pad material hasn't disintegrated.

Also check that your engine mounts are intact. Some cars suffer from the front pulley hitting the anti-roll bar after the engine mounts get old and soft (not sure if this applies to the omega though  :-/)

Cheers, borrowing Omega number 3 to get to work tomorrow, it has to be disc related as the sound increased with speed not really engine revs, straight line foot down it was ok.

Braking feels ok, but something is not right  :-/

Braking is fine, 80-20 was fine after the incident , hoping its just the pad has moved or something
