Mystery noise

[LewisG]

As you may know ive recently had trouble with squealing brakes. Its gradually getting worse, it now squeals whilst driving along normally, maybe brakes binding? Any ideas would really appreciate it as I would like to get this sorted.

Does it still occur under braking?

Is there any excessive play in the calliper carriers? You will be able to tell by grabbing the calliper and giving it a good wobble around.

And they obviously have plenty of life in them? Ie its not metal on metal.

Try whipping the pads out and copper slipping the back of them (if applicable)

I had this, and i did exactly as above took out the pads and copper slipped the back of the pads and it went.
After a little while it came back so i replaced the pads with better quality ones as the ones that were in there were cheap ones. Never done it again.
