Possibly wheel bearing, brakes, CV joints. These vehicles are noted for creeking tie rod ends. Greasable replacements are available. Another possibility: I replaced perfectly good brake pads on my 2001 only to find the grinding was still there! :( The true cause: bad rotors! I did not bother with a resurfacing to see if that would resolve it - just did replacements.

Why does your brake light on your 2004 tracker keep coming on and it just started making a horrible grinding noise what could this be?

The grinding noise is the brakes pads proably the noise is in the front. The front brake pads are easy to replace and is a do it yourself sort of thing. My guess is your brake light is coming on because of this condition. I assume your brake light has been coming on for a little while now.

What is the grinding noise on a megane 2?

It depends on where the grinding noise is coming from. Most of the time the grinding is coming from the brakes and the brake pads need to be replaced. If they've been grinding for a while, the rotors will need to be resurfaced or replaced. Other possibilities for grinding are worn axle bearings, or a problem with the clutch. If the clutch goes out, there will be a grinding noise when you try to shift gears.
