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?

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.

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

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.

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.
