They were taken off and cleaned and greased in aronld clark then 2 days after gettin it back it started again. My pals clio does the same and the copper grease only lasted on his for a few days 2. There must be some way of stopping it permanently.

Agree with XTC113. How can dust squeel? It's probably the pads/shims resonating. A bit of Coppaslip behind the pads works wonders....even stops the bits being awkward to remove at a later date.

Yep, mine too. Seems that light braking 'glazes' the discs which can also make 'em squeak. Just calls for some more hard braking......:)

Yeah, as chris said, a build up of break dust, either that or lacking a bit of grease in the pad backing plate and slides.

Anybody else have these? Mine were all cleaned and stopped for about a day but now they're back worse than ever. Anyone managed to find a cure for it?
