That's what my car's getting at its first service.

(plus new wiper blades (dragging after only 4000 miles and less than a year) and bottom end suspension bushes to replace the ones destroyed by North London speed bumps - correct diagnosis from me)

Interesting
both mine were fixed with the antsqueal paste on top of the none working anti squeal shims laugh
I'm sure many of the problems are dragging handbrake calipers frown
Just had my drivers wiper blade done as well.
Interesting the bushes have gone so soon, is that 4k from new?
I know of another Vantage where the caster adjuster seized and snapped frown
Might have to look at extracting mine and lubing them over the winter confused

It's apparently a different spec of pad, specifically to deal with the squeaking issue.

4k from new. I spend a lot of time in Hampstead, Highgate, Islington and Camden, which are utterly infested with the most aggressive speedbumps ever conceived.

Interesting on the pads, if I suffer any more of it I'll push that route!
