Does anyone else get a bad squeak from the brakes in a DBS, V12V or other CCM equipped car. It's only when the brakes are hot and only at the final part of deceleration - between say 8mph and zero. I now try and coast to a halt where possible.

I had a V8V and it's nothing like that - I used to resolve that by lots of hard braking and then it was fine.

I think 'they all do that, sir', just the nature of them. Can be cured in the short term by some hard braking like you used to do, but will return.

Mine squeal too.

Still it masks the noise from all the interior rattles.

Thought that may be the case. But at £15,000 for new pads and discs I'm less inclined to mash the middle pedal from XXXmph...
I'll coast or squeak instead...
