Noise from rear wheel
#5
if it is a wheel bearing be prepared for silly money to fix it. roughly £70 for each bearing plus some seals making it about £100 a side. = £200 just in parts for rear bearings. but they have to be done.....as i'm finding out.

Wheel bearings don't usually squeel, they ususally hum / rumble and the noise goes away / gets louder when going round bends, dependant on direction / bearing...if you near side bearing is knackered, it will go quiet on a left hand bend
Have a look at your pads, they might be worn down to the indicator, if not, whizz them out and put some copper grease on the back of them and on where they slide in the caliper

I had exactly the same problem...I've got a MY00 (currently up for sale!) - Apparently it's quite common. I think it's brake dust accumulating in the rear drums (the general consensus from mechanics who have looked at the car). This is because the rear brakes are not used much and the dust tends to accumulate there.
You can generally fix it by removing the rear drums & blowing them out with compressed air (it fixes it for a while until a few thousand miles or so when it builds up again)
The best tip I got (which works) is pull the handbrake whilst moving just momentarily - it seems to clean the pads and stop the noise for a while.

The garage have told me they think the problem is the brake pad that is expanding very slightly after hard driving (as this is the only time it does it) as the problem goes away when the car cools off they say not to worry. What do you all think ?

It's the 'deflector strip' I think that's what it's called.
Something to do with rear brake pads and wear - had the same problem on and off for years with my Scoob, a good clean sorts it out. High pitch intermittent squeel? embarassing to any proud scooby owner!

Yep Ricky - it gets worse when it gets hot - Since it does no harm - I think the best solution is the turn the stereo on louder! It's just something you learn to live with, like the clutch judder in the mornings.

Damn it, my sti7's doing it as well, last nite i was racing my m8 in his gtir, i got drift at 60 and then a switch onto opposite camber and the thing screeched all the way down to the next roundabout! weird! Though my noise came from the offside rear!
