Hi
Quite new to DB9 ownership and my squeaking brakes are doing my head in?
So question is:
Is this normal?
Can I do anything about it?

They have had a small squeak since the start really but it seems to be getting worse...

Any advice would be appreciated

Regards

Pete

Back in the early days this was quite a common complaint and I had it on my MY 05 DB9. A proper "bedding in" sorted it for good.

If a car is new or has not been driven for a while you need to do this. Find a quiet/deserted piece of road. Go as fast as the circumstances allow and then stand on the brakes. Repeat this sequence a couple of times and the squeaks are gone.

Alternatively take it to a trackday and after a couple of rounds it will have gone (together with any braking as the brake will start fading).
