its normally brake dust build up that causes squeaks

When fitting the pads, did you use some grease? if not then that will be the prob. just need to get some more use in them and it will stop.

my brakes are squeaking realy bad at the moment like realy loud! so embarrassing! i dont understand why though as they are new brake pads and disks, only been on for a few weeks!
i had my car mot'd the other day and they said the offside front brake hose is slightly deteriorated, could this be my problem?
