Have you got any anti-squeal brake pad shims on them? If not might be worth adding some to see if it eliminates the noise.

If they are te types of pads mentioned then it means you need to change your pads as they have run low.

Go for Pagid pads mate.

this is a pic of the wheels, does this help in any possible way identifying the brakes? the garage mentioned that they were 4 pots if that makes sense?
