i had the same thing... turned out to be the bearings..

not a cheap event..

it started off as being a small sqeuk, but ended up sounding like a 747 was chasing me..

hope its not the bearings mate..

cheers

The slides on the disc rear ends can "hang on" a little so you need to make sure your capliers slide freely and dont stick

After adjusting my handbrake 4.38 billion times, I've learnt to turn the radio up!
