Probably a stupid question, but annoying me now, reversing off the drive and everytime I touch the brakes they squeek. Is there anything I can do or is that the way its got to be.
Pagid disks and pads
Cheers for info

Cool

Tis so - my front left squeeks no matter what. No metal rubbing, nothing out of the ordinary - guess it is just brake dust on the pad...

I can make it hum a tune when I press hard, soft, etc on the pedal

I had the Pagid group N+ kit fitted by Scoobysport back in August. New discs, pads, hoses etc and ......... they squeel every time I reverse and apply the brakes. (used to happen with the OEM kit aswell)

New brakes are silent going forward, and stop the Scoob very quickly.
