Squeeeeky brakes!

[alexbuckland]

Hi guys,

About 6 months ago I had new front discs and pads fitted, last couple of months when warm they sqeel loudly when pulling up slowly - very very annoying. Tried some heavy braking to clear it, no joy.. Any quick fix ideas anyone? Only done about 1500 miles..

Cheers!

What pads have you had fitted they are not EBC by any chance.

They sell anti sqeel pads at most brake supliers.

As opposed too!

Sorry, the anti squeel pads are thin materail jobbies that are stuck on the back of your brake pads and prevent squeel, they're cheap and have worked for me in the past.

Thanks! Not sure what type they are will have to check invoice Dom at TVR Power put them on..

Might just be that not enough copper slip grease was used when the pads were fitted?

Depends on pad material as much as anything. I've got F4 pads and they squeal like a pig but their performance is superb so a price worth paying I reckon.
