Constant squealing noise from front end - brakes?

Postby 2litreScapri on Tue Jan 19, 2010 12:43 pm

Hey all,

New problem for me - a constant squealing noise from the front end, which occasionly goes away for a while but comes back. I could say it's pretty obvious that it's brakes needing replacement, but could it be anything else? It still steers straight, no play in anything, no crashes or bumps (although I was thinking of replacing things before the MOT), so brakes seem the answer.

If it is brakes, I want to upgrade, but it's going to stay a fairly standard power daily driver, so nothing crazy. Burton Power do Red Dot 6 groove discs & pads - anybody had experience with these over standard discs? And how easy are they to fit? Amateur spanner monkey might need some help!
