Re: squeak squeak
What pads have you used? Europart ones seem prone to squeaks.

Re: squeak squeak
Sounds like you have a sticking caliper. Take it apart again and grease the sliding pins with copper grease and see if that helps

Re: squeak squeak
yea my first thoughts but when changing the pads didnt appear to be sticking, went over a speed bump this morning and the squeak got worse and louder but soon as i hit the brake pedal again just stopped and carried on as normal soooooooo annoying
whats the price on calipers these days? think i better sit down

Re: squeak squeak
not had chance to lift them up and check yet, but only starts after using the brakes for the first time on any journey which would inidicate a brake problem.

Re: squeak squeak
Did you coat the backs of the pads with copperslip? That usually helps.
