Thanks guys - I am going to have to get it checked out.
Another thing that occurs is when having the brake down for a while it sometimes buzzes (not grinds) and brakes fail (although recently replaced), never happens when clutch down same time as braking, just when clutch down, and this occirs more now the jangle noise has started on both wheels and more noticeable. Wonder if there connected
Well keep you posted, thanks again

Dropping car off tonight, my mechanic friend is going to have a look at the jangle noise, will report back.
The brake slipping and grinding he said when he changed brake pads was one of my rear brakes not clamping properly and the buzzing was the brake fluid pumping but having nowhere to go as it wasnt clamping. Dont quote him on that I might not have explained it properly.
Anyhow dropping it off gone midnight and he will get back to me tommorow
Just been sooooo busy

Ok got car back and problem solved. He told me a whole load of stuff and already I have forgot msot of it
Blonde... 
ABS rings were ok. Something to do with ABS was a coil spring, had got so rusty it had snapped, could of been cause of the jangle and seems to of been the cause for brakes grinding and slipping.
Other jangle possibility was the wing was loose
HAvent got a clue what this is, but was tightened up and good as new.
