Right i found out all four corners are all good for pads so its not worn. Is it gonna be just a case of putting copper grease on the back of the pads?????? They sound Awful.

Copperslip is the key! I have had this on a few cars over the years, each time I removed the pads, smeared the back with copperslip abd refitted. Squeal gone!

Dont use too much and do note which pad came from where so they go back in the same place.

There a set of drilled only disks which im sure ill manage to crack at some time...

The pads look greyish. They might have been the PFP as i think you at the fish fitted them.

Doubt they are PF pads, we dont do them for the harrop setup. Is the disc one piece or 2?

Different pads would be a good starting point then.

Gonna strip them down to paint and will copper grease the backs. if that fails. I guess so.... Seems painful to throw new pads.... esspecially as they work well and i need to spend a bit elsewhere on the car....

need to work out which corner is squeeling.... It just comes and goes....
