Squeak
I had the same on my last 206cc, when my car is warm you can hear a squeak coming from the front wheels when moving, sometimes I can hear in in a straight line and sometimes only when I go round a right hand bend - this only happens when I'm travelling very slow or slowing down at traffic lights. I am thinking it may be brake related, as my brakes squeak when used when they are warm - has anyone had a similar issue?

Re: Squeak
It could be the pads are worn or too hard ... some performance pads squeak until they are really hot ... like on a race track! 
But before you throw them in the bin, check how much pad is still left (you can see with the wheel off better) and if there is still plenty on each of the four, take them out and coat the backing plate in copper grease and put them back IN THE SAME PLACE. This is important as they will have worn to suit the discs now .. also don't get any grease on the pad (bin!) or the disc.
If you do need to replace them check the discs aren't worn or badly grooved. If they are changed the pads and discs at the same time.
