As the title suggests, when I break there is a small squeak coming from just behind the driver's seat, which I assume the rear right brake.

I've only owned the car for a few days so I'm not hugely knowledgeable about it yet, although I would assume this indicates I need to get my rear brakepads changed, although it is quite a subtle squeak, not a loud squeal like you often hear from cars or bikes that clearly need new breakpads.

What would you suggest?

Make sure the drivers seat is not touching the back panel laugh

I too have had the squeak from the back of the seat on the rear panel!

After a little bit more evaluation, I'm pretty convinced that it is the rear right hand brake squeeking.

Is there a way of temporarily elliminating or reducing the squeeking? I intend on installing some 1.8 brakes in a month or so and don't want to completely replace the brakepads until then (they work well currently, it's just the noise).
