Amazing what forums show up when you do a 'show all', even ones which are exactly what you're looking for...

OK, 1996 Ford Fiesta. I changed the front disks and pads a month ago, Halford's best Ferodo parts.

Friday night the car was sluggish, and then started to squeal slightly from the front left - a 'wiggle' of the steering wheel seemed to clear it, and I was not far from home.

Checked the wheel when I got home, and it was hot .

Any pointers for what to change/adjust/fix? Copaslip somewhere? Fluid? Lumphammer? (Ford dealer?)

I didn't use any copaslip when I changed the pads cos I wasn't sure what needed greasing.

Thanks in advance... again...
