Hi all,

after a recent hard drive (360M) for a good few hours my brakes started fading a little. I stopped to let them cool down.
I am now left with this sound when pressing the brake pedal, you hear it only at idle as engine noise takes over at speed (Tuuuubiiiiii!!)
Its as if you can hear the pads squeeze themselves on the discs, mostly front I think. As you press the pedal more and more (at standstill) the squeezing sound from the pads/brakes intensifies...
It certainly was not there before the hard run.

Any ideas anyone??

Maybe you just need new pads? But this is just a guess on my part as I aint a car expert

cheers guys - I will get on my knees and check!

I think, however, they are fairly new with plenty of time left in them.

I'll be back!
