Unhappy

It's driving me MAD!!!
1. When I'm coming to a slow stop under very light braking, I get a loud squeal.It only happens after driving 3-4 miles.BUT, when I take foot off brakes, the noise sometimes continues.Front discs and pads are 6 months old ( 4k miles). The noise tends to come from the back.
2. When steering round bends there is sometimes a squeal from the front- could it be the bearings? - it doesn't happen all the time.
3. I've been told by Scoob specialists that it's because I don't use the car enough but it always takes a few miles for any noise to happen - WTF?!
PLEEEEEASE someone shed some light on this- if you have a decent reply can you e-mail me as profile?
Ta V. much. Zip.
4. Also, when coming to a slow stop the squeal somtimes comes on BEFORE I start braking.

could be a lip on the edge of your brake discs just catching on the pads and squealing. see if you`ve got a lip on your discs then get a garage to sort it for a few quid if you`ve got em
